Question

Which of the following best describes the geology of the Northwest California?

An earlier, continental margin broke apart and the geologically similar fragments were tectonically reassembled

Tightly folded, continental shelf strata were squeezed between North America and the convergent, Bering-Siberian subcontinent

Geologically different, microcontinent-sized fragments and terranes, formed elsewhere, were tectonically accreted to North America

A massive subcontinent of old igneous and metamorphic rocks (similar to India) was accreted during late Proterozoic time
