Notice the swooping layers/lines from the lower portion to the upper. At some point in history (some 200 million years ago) those layers were all the same level and material. But, over time, the crust was pushed up more on the right than the left, resulting in the elevation of the right side being significantly more than the left. Cool, huh?
