<h2>Answer:</h2>

West Coast of the United States formed by <u>rupture and Pangaea breakup that occurred about 200 million years ago</u>.

Increase of terrain accumulation and crustal shortening during orogeny in different eras and also faulting are some other occurrences. In another era, crustal extension occurred followed by magmatism which is the character of the area now.
