The geology of Nevada began to form in the Proterozoic at the western margin of North America. Terranes accreted to the continent as a marine environment dominated the area through the Paleozoic and Mesozoic periods. Intense volcanism, the horst and graben landscape of the Basin and Range Province originating from the Farallon Plate, and both glaciers and valley lakes have played important roles in the region throughout the past 66 million years.

  • The geology of Nevada began to form in the Proterozoic at the western margin of North America. Terranes accreted to the continent as a marine environment dominated the area through the Paleozoic and Mesozoic periods. Intense volcanism, the horst and graben landscape of the Basin and Range Province originating from the Farallon Plate, and both glaciers and valley lakes have played important roles in the region throughout the past 66 million years.

  • A geologia do Nevada começou a se formar durante o éon Proterozoico, a partir da costa oeste da América do Norte até o noroeste do México. Os terrenos de blocos crustais se agregaram ao longo do continente, de forma que um ambiente marinho predominou nesta área durante os períodos Paleozoico e Mesozoico. Nos últimos 66 milhões de anos, a formação geológica e fisiográfica deste terreno foi marcada por atividade vulcânica intensa e formação de geleiras. (pt)
