As will be seenby reference to this section, all of the anticlines forming thecoast ranges are faulted and fissured. The core of some ofthese anticlines is granitic while others have a core of meta-morphic rock. The floor of the valley is also faulted, the faultbeing hidden by the debris deposited in the valley.
