This involves the upward movement of Earth's crust due to forces within the planet.Over millions of years, the Earth's tectonic plates collided and shifted, causing a large block of the Earth's crust to be uplifted and tilted eastward. This uplift created the Sierra Nevada's dramatic elevation and its characteristic steep eastern escarpment.","mcq_options":[{"right":"no","answer":"Volcanic activity"},{"right":"no","answer":"Glaciation"},{"right":"no","answer":"Erosion"},{"right":"yes","answer":"Tectonic uplift"}],"multi_answers":"no","subject_terms":[{"id":1846,"title":"Geography of the United States","slug":"geography-of-the-united-states"}],"topic_terms":[{"id":1851,"title":"Major Mountain Ranges in the United States","slug":"major-mountain-ranges-in-the-united-states"},{"id":1856,"title":"Sierra Nevada","slug":"sierra-nevada"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq\/12674","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mcq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3502"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12674"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12674"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=12674"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=12674"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
