What mountains formed during the Cenozoic era?
ural mountains and applachain mountains
What are the five highest mountains in the Appalachians and the altitudes?
What r the 5 highest mountains in the appalachians
The Himalayas and the Appalachian Mountains were both formed by colliding continental plates How do scientists know that the Appalachians were formed before the Himalayas?
All that remains of the Appalachians are eroded tops. The Himalayas are still highand jagged, comparatively not as affected by erosion.
Are the rockies or the Appalachians bigger?
The Rocky Mountains are . . . well, rocky. The Appalachian mountains are more like hilly areas--not as sharply formed as the Rockies are.
Are The tallest mountains in North America the Appalachians.?
no, the Rocky Mountains are the tallest
Are the Appalachians volcanic?
No. The Appalachians are primarily fold mountains formed by one of several continental collisions that led to the formation of the supercontinent Pangaea.
How were the Appalachians formed?
The Appalachians were formed by layers of sedimentary rock uplifting and folding. Basically North America collided with Europe and Northern Africa.
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.
What mountains formed during the Cenozoic era?
ural mountains and applachain mountains
Were the Appalachian mountains part of Pangaea?
Yes, the Appalachian mountains were formed during the assembly of the supercontinent Pangaea around 300 million years ago. They were originally much taller but have since eroded.
What are the five highest mountains in the Appalachians and the altitudes?
What r the 5 highest mountains in the appalachians
Why are the Appalachian Mountains and the Rockey Mountains different?
The Appalachian Mountains are older and have been subjected to more erosion, resulting in smoother, rounded peaks. The Rocky Mountains are younger, taller, and still have more rugged, sharp peaks due to ongoing tectonic activity. Additionally, the two mountain ranges formed under different geologic processes, with the Appalachians forming from continental collision and the Rockies forming from the uplifting of the North American Plate.
How were the green mountains in vermont formed?
Same as the rest of the Appalachians, When the continents that slammed together to form Pangaea, they were raised.
Are the Appalachian Mountains older or younger than Pangaea?
They are about the same age, actually. The Appalachians were formed as a result of the continental collisions that formed Pangaea.
The Himalayas and the Appalachian Mountains were both formed by colliding continental plates How do scientists know that the Appalachians were formed before the Himalayas?
All that remains of the Appalachians are eroded tops. The Himalayas are still highand jagged, comparatively not as affected by erosion.
What kind of mountains are the Appalachians?
They are folded mountains '____'
Has erosion had a greater effect on the rocky mountains or on the Appalachians?
Appalachians
