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.
Most mountains form at places where the Earth's plates move towards one another and the planet's crust is subjected to immense forces. For example, the Himalayas formed when the Indo-Australian plate and the Eurasian plate collided. As one plate moved below the other, what is modern day India and central Asia came together and were forced upwards creating 'fold mountains'.
