The Allegheny Plateau was formed through a series of geological processes including uplift and erosion during the Appalachian orogeny, a period of mountain-building that occurred around 300 million years ago. This resulted in the creation of a broad, flat-topped region with steep cliffs and deep valleys that we see today in the eastern United States.
Mountains are formed by the process of orogeny.
orogeny come from the Greek oros meaning 'mountain'
Taconian orogeny and Acadian orogeny
