The Rockies are a cinch. One plate pushes against another plate and the buckled ground turns into the Rocky Mountains.
The horsts in the basin and range province of the United States, where the Tucsons live, are a little bit trickier. Then you have the Tucson Mountain Range. Not very big, by local standards, but the source of the "Tucson Chaos." Not a local band, but a nearly indiscernible mixture of rocks resulting from composite volcanoes and calderas plus some slips, collapses and a detachment fault slide. Did I mention a lake?
Anyway, I am thrilled to have this comprehensive story about the creation of the Tucson Mountains. For the geologically challenged, there is a basic glossary of terms in the back.
One minor complaint I must register against the publisher. Make sure your book pages a properly cut. I had to separate a number a pages with a knife.
