Summary
| Description |
English: Nevada's Carson Range is in the easternmost Sierra Nevada Mountains. Immediately adjacent to (east of) the Sierra Nevadas is the Basin & Range Physiographic Province, which consists of extension-formed horsts (mountain ranges) and grabens (valleys). The valley in the photo's foreground is the westernmost graben of the Basin & Range in this area.
The Carson Range is composed of Cretaceous granite and granite-like rocks of the Sierra Nevada Batholith, a complex of large, cooled magma chambers under a series of ancient subduction zone stratovolcanoes. Metamorphosed roof pendant rocks are also present in the Carson Range. Magma intrusion during the Cretaceous cooked the pre-existing overlying rocks. Plus some volcanics of late Cenozoic age. Locality: Tamarack Peak (left) & Mt. Rose (right), Carson Range, northwest of the town of Carson City, far-southern Washoe County, far-western Nevada, USA |
