The Sierra Nevada mountain range primarily formed during the Mesozoic Era, specifically in the late Jurassic to early Cretaceous period, approximately 150 million years ago. The range was shaped by a combination of volcanic activity, tectonic uplift, and erosion. Significant geological events continued to influence its structure well into the Cenozoic Era, particularly during the uplift and glaciation phases.
