Answer:

The correct answer is option C. rocks that form from materials that existed in older rocks.

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are small pieces of<u> older rocks </u>(such as igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary)<u> in conjunction with organic remains. </u>

Once they erode, these rocks move across rivers and oceans. While they do, they accumulate sediments that are compressed and heated.

<u>The high temperatures and pressures</u> finally lithify the loose sediment in a sedimentary rock.

  • After The subduction, the Pacific Monterey plate creased and the plate margin was transformed into a transform boundary. Earlier in Miocene high heat flow and transmission caused extension of the basin.  
  • It's Due to the basin lies in the boundary of the traversing and peninsular ranges, the basin experiences both compression, and strike-slip tectonics. During the early Pliocene which later also identified as the phases of deformation of folding as a result of fault movements and slight rotation events.
