In the scientific literature, both mesas are also known as North Oroville Table Mountain and South Oroville Table Mountain in order to differentiate them from the Tuolumne Table Mountain, which is also capped by the eroded remnant of a basaltic (or, more properly, a latite) lava flow, in the central foothills of California.

Table Mountain is a narrow, 18 mi (29 km)-long, sinuous, flat-topped ridge separated by erosional saddles into a series of mesas that extend from Lake Tulloch to just west of Columbia, California in Tuolumne County, California. It is just over 1,100 ft (340 m) in elevation at its southern end and just over 2,000 ft (610 m) in elevation at its ...
Table Mountain; Highest point; Elevation: 6,880 ft (2,100 m) ... Table Mountain, in Shasta County, California, is an extinct stratovolcano in the Cascade Range. [1]
These avalanches created their own 'air cushions' that helped accelerate them to speeds exceeding 100 mph (160 km/h) and push them partway up Table Mountain. [34] The resulting wilderness of debris, the Chaos Jumbles, covers an area of 2.5 sq mi (6.5 km 2). [1] Manzanita Lake was formed as a result of Manzanita Creek being dammed by the debris ...
The oldest rocks in California date back 1.8 billion years to the Proterozoic and are found in the San Gabriel Mountains, San Bernardino Mountains, and Mojave Desert.The rocks of eastern California formed a shallow continental shelf, with massive deposition of limestone during the Paleozoic, and sediments from this time are common in the Sierra Nevada, Klamath Mountains and eastern Transverse ...

The mountain range between Death and Panamint valleys is the Panamint Range and the Black Mountains bound the other side of Death Valley. (NASA image) The exposed geology of the Death Valley area presents a diverse and complex set of at least 23 formations of sedimentary units, two major gaps in the geologic record called unconformities , and ...
