Best Answer

The Appalachian Mountains can be separated into 3 parts: the Northern (which starts at Newfoundland and Labrador to the Hudson River), the Central (which starts at the Hudson Valley to the New River) and the Southern (which is everything at the New River and beyond). The characteristics of the northern section are the Long Range Mountains, the Annieopsquotch Mountains, the Chic-Choc Mountains, the Notre Dame Range, Longfellow Mountains, the White Mountains, the Green Mountains, The Berkshires and the Metacomet Ridge Mountains. The central part contains the Valley Ridges (among the Allegheny Front in the Allegheny Plateau and the Great Appalachian Valley), the New York and New Jersey Highlands, the Taconic Mountains and the Blue Ridge. The Southern part is made up of the Western Blue Ridge, the Ridge and Valley Appalachians, the Blue Ridge and the Cumberland Plateau. Some might also say that the plateau formed to make hills and valleys, the true folded mountains and other mountains and plateaus such as the Catskill Mountains are also part of the Appalachian Mountains.
