This has led to the formation of the Transverse Ranges in Southern California, and to a lesser but still significant extent, the Santa Cruz Mountains (the location of the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989).
Isto orixinou a formación da cordilleira Transversa no sur de California, e en menor medida aínda que significativa, as montañas de Santa Cruz (a localización do teremoto de Loma Prieta de 1989).
