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.
