The Rocky Sierra Madre and the Andes mountains are both major mountain ranges in the Americas, but they are not directly related geologically. The Sierra Madre ranges in Mexico (Sierra Madre Occidental and Sierra Madre Oriental) are part of the North American tectonic plate, while the Andes are formed along the western edge of South America due to the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate. Both ranges share similar geological processes related to tectonic activity, but they are distinct and formed in different geological contexts.
