Pacific and Northern plates crashed against each other and cause the sierra Nevada mountains form
Where tectonic plates collide, the intervening crust can be folded or pushed up to form mountains. In the case of the Sierra Nevada, an ancient collision forced magma from an oceanic plate beneath the western part of North America. After millions of years, erosion and glaciation has exposed these underground rocks, or plutons, which form the bases of the mountains of the range.
