How was the Sierra Nevadas formed?
Hi, uh, ok, the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range wuz formed by 2 colliding plate boundaries tat collided and formed the Sierra Nevadas. thanks 4 reading!!!! - created by Lauren Eisele from Masuda Middle School

How are fault-block mountains formed?
Fault Block mountains or Horst- formed when colliding plates build up pressure along parallel cracks (faults) in the Earth's surface. The extreme pressure causes large blocks of land to slip and be uplifted. Elevations are normally greater than 3000 meters above sea level. Example: The Sierra Nevadas of California.
Was the Sierra Nevadas created by folding?
Folding and lifting with some volcanic activity, as they were formed just inland of a previous subduction zone that was part of the ancient "pacific ring of fire". The rest of California formed later.
What is formed when plates within the earths crust bend and crack Earth's crust?
When plates within the Earth's crust bend and crack, faults are formed. Faults are fractures in the Earth's crust where movement has occurred along the break. These movements can be either vertical or horizontal, causing earthquakes.

Are volcanoes where new faults are formed?
yes
What are mountains that are formed between two large faults known as?
Mountains formed between two large faults are known as "fault-block mountains." These mountains typically arise due to tectonic forces that cause blocks of the Earth's crust to be uplifted or tilted along fault lines. The movement of these faults can create steep, rugged terrain as sections of the crust are displaced relative to one another. Examples of fault-block mountains include the Sierra Nevada in California.
