yes
Yes, in California, most of the precipitation falls on the western sides of mountains due to the prevailing westerly winds that carry moist air from the Pacific Ocean. As the air rises over the mountains, it cools and condenses, resulting in precipitation. This phenomenon is known as orographic precipitation.
No, not all mountains have snow caps. The presence of snow caps depends on factors such as elevation, latitude, and climate. Mountains in higher latitudes or with higher elevations are more likely to have snow caps year-round.
Yes, the eastern side of the mountains in California is typically drier than the western side. This is due to the rain shadow effect, where the mountains block moisture from reaching the eastern side, leading to lower precipitation levels.
Basalt can be found in various regions of California, including the Sierra Nevada mountains, the Cascade Range, and the coastal ranges like the Santa Monica Mountains and the San Gabriel Mountains. It is commonly associated with volcanic activity and can be seen in the form of lava flows, volcanic plugs, and other volcanic landforms throughout the state.

Certainly not.
enough to get higher than mt. Everest
They are not getting higher. They are in fact getting smaller. The Rocky Mountains do not lie on a fault line and thus there is no force to drive them upwards. Sorry, its as big as they will get.
There are several mountains that follow the California coastline. These mountains are the Sierra Nevada, the Cascades, and the Klamath Mountains.

No ther are not mountains that get higher by the earths crust
California has the highest elevation mountain in the lower 48 states, Mt. Whitney. However, Colorado has more high mountains than any state including Alaska. It is the highest elevated land mass in the United States.
yes, the andes mountains are higher
