Southwestern North America contains a large area called the Basin and Range province. What is the origin of this name?
◦ The area is characterized by chains of volcanoes forming ranges next to basins that form valleys.
◦ Thrust faulting along the San Andreas fault produces linear ridges, the ranges, with intervening basinal valleys forming fault block mountains.
◦ Folds have formed by compressional stresses along the plate margin forming ridges (ranges) and valleys (the basins) of the basin and range province.
◦ Ranges are uplifted horst blocks while basins formed as grabens.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
