<h2>Answer:</h2>

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

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The occurrence of these events resulted in Northern American Plate moving towards the west. This resulted in the creation of an active margin on the western continent. Further motion created an accumulation of terrains where the west coast occurred.

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.

Who came up with the concept that geologic processes operating at present are the same processes that operated in the past?
fomenos

Answer:

James Hutton

Explanation:

James Hutton was the geologist who brought this concept of 'Uniformitarianism'. This law describes that all the geological processes that occur now must have taken place in the geological past, with varying intensities, and these processes are responsible for the configuration of the landscape and formation of various surface features on earth.

This was an important discovery that led to a better understanding of the geological processes and how they act on the earth's surface and in its interior.
