What are the 2 main branches of the Canadian Cordillera?

The Canadian coast mountains are?
The Canadian Coast Mountains are tall, steep, and rugged, because of recent and current geologic movements crumpling the crust of the earth. One part of the earth's lithosphere, the North Atlantic plate (made of continental rock), is moving from east to west. At its western boundary, it meets another lithospheric plate, the Juan de Fuca (made of oceanic rock). As these two plates converge or come together, the oceanic plate is forced underneath the North Atlantic plate. The result is a crumpling of the crust. Sometimes volcanoes erupt. Thus, the Coast Mountains continue to be formed.
