The coastal mountains are made up of igneous and metamorphic rock in the cordillera region in North America. The mountains are diverse and vary in different areas.
The Andes in South America, the Rockies in North America, and the Alps in Europe are examples of mountain ranges that are part of the Cordillera system. These mountain ranges are characterized by their long, continuous chains and high elevations.
The Cordillera is a system of parallel mountain ranges that are typically made up of folded and faulted rocks, such as sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. These mountain ranges are often associated with tectonic plate boundaries and are characterized by high elevations, rugged terrain, and significant geological activity.
The three mountain ranges that make up the northern rim are the Carpathian Mountains, the Urals, and the Caucasus Mountains.
No, a mountain chain is typically a series of mountain ranges that are connected. A mountain range is a group of mountains that are aligned together. The chain is made up of ranges, so the mountain chain is usually larger in size than a single mountain range.
The Scottish Highlands is a rugged and mountainous region in Scotland, but it is not a distinct mountain range itself. It is made up of several mountain ranges, including the Grampian Mountains and the Cairngorms.
Some examples of mountain ranges that line up are the Andes in South America and the Rocky Mountains in North America, the Alps in Europe and the Himalayas in Asia, and the Atlas Mountains in North Africa and the Sierra Nevada in Spain. These ranges are part of tectonic plate boundaries or mountain belts that run along similar latitudes.
The Himalayas have parallel ranges of mountains.
The Boreal Cordillera is an eco-zone that includes several different mountain ranges as well as other landforms. Each specific mountain range and landform has a unique geologic age meaning that this area formed over a long period of geologic time. For specific information on which mountain ranges and physical units make up this area see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boreal_Cordillera_Ecozone_%28CEC%29 For more detailed information on the Western Cordillera in general and discussion explaining the time periods of the mountain ranges in question see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Cordillera_%28North_America%29

Two mountain ranges located in New York are the Adirondack Mountains and the Catskill Mountains. Both the Adirondack Mountain and the Catskill Mountains are made up of summits of varying heights. Allen Peak is a high summit of the Adirondack Mountains.
Japan is made up of rich land with fertile soil and mountain ranges. It is this way because of the major volcanic activity in Japan
The Great Plains from Minnesota to North Dakota makes up the majority of the United States' border with Canada. The rest of the border is made up mostly by the Great Lakes and the Rocky Mountain and Cascaded Mountain Ranges.
Yes, they line up with a mountain range in Afria
Because it is a mountain range. As one goes up, it gets colder.
