it turns into dirt and sand.
by erosion
When mountains are worn away by weathering and the sediment is carried away, it is called erosion. This occurs over time. Rapid erosion is possible and is known to cause landslides.
New mountains are created through tectonic and volcanic activity.
Mountains are worn and eroded by rain and wind.

Time, weather.
They're worn down from mountains and volcanoes.

Time and erosion turn young tall mountains into old, worn-down ones.
no but they have the highest peak on the continental U.S.

this is because the ranges get worn down due to erosion
Young mountains have sharp edges because they have not been worn down by erosion. Old mountains are rounded and smoother.

New mountains are created through tectonic and volcanic activity.
The Appalachian Mountains were formed around 480 million years ago and have been eroding since then. The forces of weathering, erosion, and tectonic activity have worn down the mountains over time, making them lower than they were when they were first formed. Additionally, the region has not experienced significant volcanic activity to create new peaks.
