Seashells can be found on some mountaintops of the Sierra Nevada due to the region's geological history. Millions of years ago, the area was submerged underwater as part of an ancient ocean. Over time, tectonic activity caused the land to rise, bringing marine sediments and fossils, including seashells, to high elevations. This process illustrates the dynamic nature of Earth's geology and the shifting of landforms over geological time.
