San Gabriel Mountains
The San Gabriel Mountains formed at what is essentially a kink in the San Andreas Fault. Along this fault the Pacific Plate slides northward while the North American Plate slides southward. At the kink, a small portion of the North American Plate juts out north of part of the Pacific Plate. The motion of the two plates rams them together at this location, thrusting sections of rock upward to form the San Gabriel Mountains.
