Geology
The Pine Valley Mountains formed from the Pine Valley Laccolith, which is the largest laccolith in the United States and perhaps the largest laccolith in the world.[5] The laccolith was formed during a 20 million-year period of volcanic activity. After 4-5,000 feet of volcanics had been deposited on top of the Claron Formation, the magma vents were effectively sealed off. A final surge of magma, unable to find its way to the surface, instead pushed sideways along the weak seam between the Claron and the overlying volcanic layers. Thus was injected a 3,000 foot-thick layer of monzonite porphyry to form the Pine Valley laccolith.[6] The contact between the top of the Claron and the bottom of the laccolith can be seen in several locations, most notably near the headwaters of Cottonwood Creek along the southwest corner of the mountain range (see photo below in the gallery), and at the headwaters of Leap Creek north of the Browse Guard Station.[/quote]

Pine Valley Mountains are a Laccolith, one of the largest. Utah has other large Laccolith including the Henry Mountains. Laccolith are extremely interesting but a real puzzle to Geologists. They are supposedly formed by an intrusion of one type of rock into another. Normally something like igneous (molten lava) into layers of sedimentary rock. The problem is that the outer layers forming these intrusions have nearly all dissapeared. Leaving mountains that look like normal mountains but of a different structure to the surrounding area.

The Pine Valley Mountains look like normal mountains because they are normal mountains. The only reason they are not "normal" mountains is because Geology says they can not be. This has caused some brilliant explanations for the creation of them and others like them. Maybe it is simple. gEUlogy says they are normal mountains like all the other mountains around them and around the world.

What has caused Geology to tell the Earth it does not know what it is doing and is wrong? The mineral they are made up of (granite) is different to the red/orange sandstone that the rest of the area is mainly composed or covered with. Red sandstone is a special sign of Electric Universe activity, as seen all over the world.

Although the PVM's appear to be normal mountains rising out of the landscape they can not be "normal" because the material they are made of, in its location, does not allow for this. What You See Is What You Get. The rock was changed when the mountains were formed. Notice that they are like a Lichtenberg Pattern, which is the discharge of electrical charge/current.

If the Pine Valley Mountain are Laccolith's then how do they look like normal mountains, how do they have a ridge, how has the Pine Valley itself been eroded away, how do ridges/valleys cut across each other...
