Why are the Appalachian Mountains and the Rockey Mountains different?

The Appalachians are much older than the Rockies and so they are more worn. The Appalachians are about 300 million years old, while the Rockies are about 65 million years old. As a result, the Appalachians are more worn. The Appalachians formed as a result of a collision between continents that formed the supercontinent Pangaea. The Rockies formed as an oceanic plate slid under the North American Plate at a shallow angle, dragging against the base of the crust.
