The Nevadan Orogeny occurred during the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous periods, approximately between 160 and 100 million years ago. This mountain-building event primarily affected the western United States, particularly the Sierra Nevada region, as a result of subduction processes related to the Farallon Plate beneath the North American Plate. It significantly shaped the geological landscape of the area, leading to the formation of various rock types and structures.

Which of phenomena is responsible for the formation of the highest mountains?
Orogeny (mountain building process) is responsible for formation of high mountains. Tectonism also helps in facilitating the activities of orogeny.
What characterizes the second orogeny that affected western North America in the Mesozoic Era?
The second orogeny that affected western North America in the Mesozoic Era is known as the Sevier orogeny. It occurred during the Late Cretaceous to Eocene periods and was caused by the subduction of the Farallon Plate beneath the North American Plate. The Sevier orogeny resulted in the uplift and deformation of the region, forming mountain ranges such as the Sevier Mountains in Utah.
