The Sierra Madre Occidental was formed through the processes of tectonic plate movement and volcanic activity. It is a mountain range in western Mexico that was created by the collision of the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate, resulting in the uplift of the land and the formation of the rugged terrain we see today. Over millions of years, volcanic eruptions also played a role in shaping the landscape of the Sierra Madre Occidental.
