There is more than one batholith in California. You can find accreted terrane in northern states.
The chunks of lithosphere that are scraped off of subducting plates and added to the edge of a continent are called accreted terranes!

terrane
mainly of basaltic lava flows and minor, coralline limestone
This is when a bit one tectonic plate breaks off and sticks to (accretes) to another plate. Here are some sentences.There is an area of accreted terrane on nearly every tectonic plate.We studied accreted terranes in class, and I thought the teacher said "terrain."An accreted terrane keeps the characteristics of the original plate rather than taking on new ones.

In geology, terrane is a shortened term for tectonostratigraphic terrane. Examples of a terrane would be Lhasa Terrane in Tibet and Pearya Terrane in the United States.
"Terrain" refers to a topographic or geographic landscape configuration--for example, a "hilly terrain," or a "wooded terrain." "Terrane" refers to a lighologic or geologic areal expanse--for example, a "metamorphic terrane," or a "basaltic terrane."
Jacques Terrane's birth name is Jacques Tartire.
