A mountain range formed due to terrane accretion is known as a composite mountain range. This type of mountain range is formed when different land masses or terranes are added to the edge of a continent through tectonic processes, leading to the uplift and formation of mountains. Examples of composite mountain ranges include the Alps in Europe and the Sierra Nevada in North America.
An example of a block mountain is Table Mountain located in South Africa. It is a prominent flat-topped mountain overlooking the city of Cape Town. This type of mountain is characterized by its steep sides and flat, plateau-like summit.
The Sierra Nevada is a young fault-block mountain range located in eastern California and western Nevada. It is characterized by steep, rugged terrain and features several peaks over 14,000 feet in elevation, including Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the contiguous United States.
