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.
