About 100,000 years ago, the most recent of these eruptions formed the Mammoth Knolls, low hills just north of the Town of Mammoth Lakes. Mammoth Mountain, a young volcano on the rim of Long Valley Caldera, was built by numerous eruptions between 220,000 and 50,000 years ago.
The uplifted part forms a mountain, and the lowered parts are filled in with eroded material. An example of this is the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California. Another way that mountains are formed is when magma from beneath the Earthâs surface is pushed up, but doesnât actually crack through.This bulge of magma eventually cools and hardens into hard rock, like granite. The layers of softer rock above the magma erode away and youâre left with a large dome-shaped mountain.he mountain ranges are created because of those crumpling plates. The Indian subcontinent âcrashedâ into Asia 25 million years ago and created the Himalayan mountain range. In fact, the Himalayans are still growing! The next way that mountains are formed is along fault lines.
