The mountains of California, including the Sierra Nevada and the Coast Ranges, are geologically diverse and have varying ages. The Sierra Nevada, for instance, began forming around 100 million years ago during the Mesozoic era, while some of the coastal ranges are older, dating back over 200 million years. Overall, the complex geological processes that shaped California's mountains continue to evolve today.
