What did the earth look like in the Cenozoic era?
During the beginning of the Cenozoic Era, all the continents were connected together in one large land mass known as Pangea. The Cenozoic period began about 65 million years ago with the extinction of the dinosaurs and continues through the present. The continents have broken apart, and the Atlantic Ocean has opened from a narrow valley to a vast ocean. India moved across the ocean and collided with Asia to form the Himalayas. The western coasts of North and South America crumpled to form the Rocky Mountains and the Andes.
What era was the Appalachians mountains formed?
Mountains first appeared in the Paleozoic Era.

On which continent are valley glaciers not found?
Australia has no continental glaciers, because the mountains do not receive sufficient snowfall to form them (at least not in the present era).
When and with what were mountains created?
During the Paleozoic Era
How will the Himalayas mountain range be in the future?
Due to the continuing (very slow) collision of India with Asia, some mountains of the Himalayas will be pushed even higher than they are now, until erosion begins to tear them down faster than they are raised. This will take many millions of years. The Appalachian mountains of North America were actually formed by a similar collision that formed the supercontinent of Pangaea, but eroded away over a period of 300 million years until again being uplifted during the Cenozoic Era.
How were the Innuitian Mountains formed?
The Innuitian Mountains present form was shaped during the innuitian orogeny in the middle of the Mesozotic era when the North America Plate moved northward. It is younger than the Appalachians, and so erosion has not yet rounded them significantly.
When was the Bucegi Mountains discovered?
Probably by the tribes from the neolithic era.
What era were the highlands landforms formed?
It depends where, geographically, which highlands you are referring to. The Himalayas, the highest landforms, are still being formed.
