The mountains of the Great basin were formed by plate spreading in that part of the North American Continent. What happens is, as a plate spreads apart, fault blocks start to form. Two blocks on either side will rise while the one in the middle sinks. The rising blocks are called horsts, the the sinking blocks are called grabens.
