It was formed by glaciers
Yosemite National Park and lakes were formed by erosion in California.
Yosemite rock consists primarily of granite. Granite is formed through volcanic activity near the surface.
No. Wind can cause some erosion, but it cannot form valleys. Yosemite valley was formed by glaciers.
Glacial erosion formed Yosemite Valley. Meanwhile, the streams eroded the granite rock to form the waterfalls we know as Yosemite Falls and many others today.
Yosemite Valley is formed by the sheer granite cliffs on its sides. It is then ended by Half Done towering above the valley floor.

glacier erosion
Ice formed Yosemite Valley by carving it out. When glaciers many years ago retreated, they carved out the valley.
In the 1800s, there was great controversy on whether Yosemite Valley was formed from water erosion, glaciation, or volcanic cataclysm. In the early 1900s, evidence for glaciation became overwhelming.
Yosemite Valley is in Northern California and is one of the larger national parks. It was formed primarily from granite upthrust mountain building.
