The Big Picture. The geologic history of the northeastern United States is a story of active mountain building and the quieter processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition of sediments.The Northeast is at the edge of a continent (North America), but in the middle of a plate (the North American plate), which extends from the mid-Atlantic ridge to the West Coast.
