Sierra Nevada are the mountains that lie between California and Nevada.
The Sierra Nevada mountains are located in California, USA. They were formed by tectonic plate movements that uplifted the region's crust, creating the dramatic mountain range we see today. Additionally, glacial activity over millions of years helped sculpt the steep valleys and jagged peaks that are characteristic of the Sierras.
