The area surrounding big bear lake accurately described by the statements: Cretaceous or Jurassic quartz monozite is found to the west of the lake, Well-dissected alluvial fan deposits are found to the east of the lake, Many faults are found to the north and east of the lake.

Option: A, B &D

Explanation:

According to the gelogical time period Cretaceous and Jurassic period belong to Mesozoic era. Big bear lake was formed during that time. So the mineral quartz, monozite sand found in the west of the lake.

Alluvial fan is formed by the river in its lower course when velocity goes down and all the transported sediments deposited in the foothill zone forms fan shaped land feature known as alluvial fan. Many faults that created by tensional force on the earth's crust found to the north and east of the lake.
