What is a mountain range?
A mountain range is a single mass of mountains or narrowly space mountain ridges with or without peaks. The mountains within the range are generally closely related in position, direction, formation, and age; a component part of a mountain system or of a mountain chain. The theory about continental drift says that mountain ranges rise up as one continent pushes against another.
How do rock types show evidence of continental drift?
Rock types can provide evidence of continental drift by matching on opposite sides of current oceans, showing that the continents were once connected. For example, the Appalachian Mountains in North America align with the Caledonian Mountains in Scotland, indicating they were once part of the same mountain range before continental drift occurred. Additionally, similar fossils and rock formations found on different continents support the theory of continental drift.
What mountain range was probably created before the continental separation approximately 350 million years ago?
The Appalachian Mountain Range was likely created before the continental separation around 350 million years ago. This mountain range formed during the assembly of the supercontinent Pangaea and has since been eroded down from its original size.
Does mount Everest erupt?
No, Mt. Everest is not a volcanic mountain and therefore it does not erupt. Mt. Everest is part of the Himalayas and this mountain range was formed by the squashing of an ancient sea floor between the Continent of Asia and the Indian subcontinent as this was carried north by continental drift. Thus the Himalayas are a fold belt mountain range rather than a volcanic mountain range.

What mountain range runs from St. Lawrence Gulf in Canada to Alabama?
The Appalachian mountain range, which parallels the eastern seaboard of the continental US.
How does the location of mountain chains provide evidence of continental drift?
Mountain chains are formed by the action of different tectonic plates drifting into and colliding with each other. When they collide one plate rides over the top of the other creating a mountain or mountain range.
