Look at the map below. The mountains in the Pinnacles National Monument and the mountains at Tejon Pass were once located next to each other and a part of the same mountain range Now however, they are separated by over 240 kilometers Explain how the mountains at Pinnacles National Monument
and the mountains at Tejon Pass became separated from each other koi

The mountains at Pinnacles National Monument  and the mountains at Tejon Pass became separated from each other after suffering a transforming process, in which plates slid laterally against each other along the fault.

Explanation:

The tectonic plates theory is based on the continual movements of the crust and might explain the movement of the different plates, and their directions and interactions.

Plates are limited by three different ridges or borders that differ in the type of movement they produce.

A subduction process first originated all the mountains. This process took a lot of time and it in different stages. But once it concluded, a new process followed the first one. The transforming process, which occurred when the Pacific plate collided against the occidental ridge of the North American plate until it broke along the tension line. This process involves a movement of plates in which they slide laterally against the others along a line known as a fault.

As you can see on the map, the Pinnacles National Monument and the mountains at Tejon Pass are placed on opposite sides of the fault line. At first, they were together, and then by the transforming process, the plates moved along the fault separating them.

mountains can affect the climate of nearby lands. in some areas, mountains block rain, so that one side of a mountain range may be rainy and the other side may be a desert. much of airborne moisture falls as rain on the windward side of mountains.
