Last I checked, the process was wind erosion. Water may have also played a role, but in a mountain range when it becomes more rounded, rather than jagged, it is usually wind erosion. the Appalachian Mountains are also hypothesized to be older than the Rockie Mountains therefore, having more time to wear away.

What is the natural forces caused the mountains down?
mostly erosion if u dont know want that is i when things on earth causes things to changt
What kind of natural resources did they have in Mesopotamia?
The Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, which washed down fertile soil from the mountains, providing the basis for thriving agriculture which underpinned the resources necessary for civilisation to develop.
How are shields formed?
They're worn down from mountains and volcanoes.
What process breaks down granite into sediment?
The process that breaks down granite into sediments is weathering.
What has worn down the peaks of the appalachians mountains over time?

Where are the Appalachians mountains located in Tennessee?
The Appalachian Mountains in Tennessee are in the Eastern part of the state only they are called "The Great Smoky Mountains."
What are the longest and largest mountain range Rocky Mountains or Appalachian?
Geologically speaking the Appalachians are older. The Rockies are an example of geological upheaval, while the Appalachians used to be a solid plain millions of years ago and eroded to become the mountains we have today.
What natural processes tend to wear down mountains?
The natural processes of water and wind erosion tend to wear down mountains.
Why are the Rocky Mountains taller and sharper than the Appalachian Mountains in north America?
The Rockies and the Appalachians are similar geologically (although the Appalachians are a little more diverse) however the Appalachians were emplaced a lot longer ago and have been exposed at the surface longer and therefore are more eroded down. By contrast the Rockies are still quite young (they were pushed up roughly in the Cretaceous, probably 100-200 million years after the Appalachians) and haven't been weathered down very much yet.
Why are the the appalachians rounded?
The Appalachians have been worn down by millions of years of weathering and erosion.

What is one way to tell young mountains from old mountains?
In general, the younger the mountain chain, the taller it is. Plate tectonics builds mountains by thrusting the crust upward, while erosion wears them back down over millenia. So the Himalayas are a new (and in fact, still growing) mountain chain, while the Appalachians are one of the oldest chains still identifiable as mountains.

Why are the Appalachian Mountains more rounded and shorter than the Rocky Mountains?
because they have been worn down by approximately 250 million years of weathering and erosion. -Star
