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.
A valley is the low area between two mountains or hills.
The low lands between hills or mountains is called a valley.
There is no relationship between tornadoes and earthquakes.

The Pyrenees mountains create a physical border between France and Spain.
Brother and sister.
People and mountains are interdependent.
The roads go around and through the the mountains. :)
Roads tend to be located in the valleys.

Fold mountains are often created by the collision of tectonic plates, which can also generate earthquakes. The building of fold mountains can cause stress to accumulate within the Earth's crust, leading to earthquakes as the crust adjusts to the tectonic forces. Therefore, there is a close relationship between the location of fold mountains and seismic activity such as earthquakes.

The Cajon Pass between the San Bernardino Mountains and San Gabriel Mountains. The Tejon Pass (The Grapevine) through the Tehachapi Mountains, 75 miles north of Los Angeles. The San Gorgonio Pass between the San Bernardino Mountains and San Jacinto Mountains, linking the Inland Empire with Palm Springs and the other Desert Cities
a river begins in a mountain so the mountain would be the source.
smaller streams or rivers that flow into larger ones are called tributaries
the family's in between state causes a great deal of conflict between Gabriel and his wife.
In reality there is little relationship between volcanism and fold mountains, other than that of the underlying theory of plate tectonics. Fold mountains are formed when two continental plates collide and a "crumple zone" forms. This crumple zone is where the edge of the continental plates are crushed rather than subsumed. Volcanism is the general term used to describe the events of volcanoes and their relevant sources (magma and the earth mantle). Any relationship of the two is derived from the link between the edges of the continental plates and the escaping magma commonly found in such places (i.e. volcanoes).
