...the rapid advance of a sinking wedge of material as part of tectonic events 31 million years ago may have set the stage for the subsequent rise of the range.

Hmmm...I have that sinking feeling they are trying to say subduction without really saying it. And I want to know what CAUSED the rapid advance of a sinking wedge of material because it sounds like a lot of energy would be required. But I'm not a 'scientist' so I guess I'll just have to take their word for it. Like H*ell I will.
