Los Angeles Basin is a sedimentary basin that is located in Southern California, also called the peninsular region. It is marked with elongated low hills and ridges that group, the hills located on the east of pacific. There are rapid transgression and regression of shoreline moving the area to a shallow marine environment.
This region is divided into four major basins central, southwest, northwest, and northeast structural blocks. The history of the basin begins with the subduction of the Pacific plate under the North American plate in the Mesozoic era.
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.
As the ocean currents go around, they gather garbage from around the world and bring it to the centre of the pacific ocean where current is proven to be weakest. It can also be found in the Indian ocean and the Atlantic ocean.
C. The formation name is symbolized by capital letters
Explanation:
The capital letter represents the the age of the geological unit and not the formation name. The history of the Earth has been divided by Geologists into Eons (the largest division), Eras, Periods, and Epochs , mostly based on the fossils found in rocks.
