I know that the Sierra Nevada was formed from tectonic activity. I also know that when Mt. Pluto errupted, it "clogged" the Tahoe basin, causing the Truckee River to fill the valley and become Lake Tahoe.

The Sierra Nevada mountain range is formed by plate tectonics and the movement of the plates. This is also the case for the Rocky Mountains.
