Meeting of Landforms

The Western United States is scrambled eggs geology from the action of the Western Overthrust. The Pacific Plate subducts under the North American Plate. The movement under the plate grows the continent with accretion and spawns a myriad of landforms. This is most likely a volcanic intrusion surrounded by eroded material.
