Question

question: the ____ range is an example of a fault - block mountain range that did not form adjacent to the boundary of a continental plate.
answer input:
spelling counts but capitalization doesnt.
feedback:
incorrect. this range is located in the united states. try again.

Explanation:

Fault - block mountain ranges form due to tectonic forces. The Basin and Range Province includes fault - block mountains. The Sierra Nevada is a fault - block range, but the feedback says it's incorrect (maybe a mis - feedback? Wait, no, the question says "did not form adjacent to the boundary of a continental plate". Wait, the Sierra Nevada is in the US. Wait, maybe the correct answer is the Black Hills? No, wait, the correct fault - block range that is not at a continental plate boundary (in the US) is the Sierra Nevada? Wait, no, the feedback says "This range is located in the United States. Try again." Wait, maybe the question has a mistake, but the correct fault - block mountain range that is not at a continental plate boundary (and is in the US) is the Sierra Nevada? Wait, no, maybe the correct answer is the "Basin and Range" but no, the question is about a range. Wait, the correct answer is the "Sierra Nevada" is a fault - block range, and it is in the US. But the feedback says incorrect. Wait, maybe the intended answer is the "Black Hills"? No, Black Hills are not fault - block. Wait, the correct fault - block range that is not at a continental plate boundary is the Sierra Nevada. Wait, maybe the feedback is wrong, but according to the question, the correct answer should be Sierra Nevada, but the feedback says incorrect. Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the Basin and Range is a province, not a range. The Sierra Nevada is a fault - block range. So the correct answer is Sierra Nevada. But the feedback says incorrect. Maybe the question meant a range not in the US? No, the feedback says "This range is located in the United States. Try again." So maybe the correct answer is "Wasatch" range? No, Wasatch is in the US. Wait, maybe the question is wrong, but the correct fault - block mountain range that did not form adjacent to a continental plate boundary (and is in the US) is Sierra Nevada. So I think the answer is Sierra Nevada.

Answer:

Sierra Nevada
