They cover 70% of Switzerland the mountains range between 3000 and 10000 feet high they are well known for their jagged peaks and valleys sorry only 3 :(
because older mountains are more exposed to the elements such as rain and storms which wear down the jagged points. Actually, the sharpness or bluntness of the peaks of a mountain indicates the strength of the rock from which they are formed, and says nothing about their age.
a mountain is a mountain if its terrain peaks to 1000m or above. This can be free standing or part of a mountain range

A young mountain has steep sides. It also has sharp jagged peaks and narrow valleys. Older mountains are more rounded.

They are mountains without a tip. It is rounded at the top. Rounded mountains are almost always old mountains.As mountains gets older, their peaks get flatter. They are still considered mountains as they pass mountain elevation requirements.There valleys are very wide too. The opposite is a young mountain with shark peaks, narrow valleys, and much taller. For ex., Earth's tallest mountain, Mt.Everest, is a very young mountain.
Sierra means "mountain range" in Spanish, referring specifically to a mountain range with jagged peaks.
The name Sierra means 'mountain range' in Spanish. It specifically means a mountain range with jagged peaks.
Can anytone tell me the range of mountains with jagged peaks - i - r - a Sierra
Jagged mountains peaks become more rounded by the process of weathering. This occurs as wind and rain slowly eat away at the mountain, removing tiny bits of the rocks at a time until the mountains look more rounded than jagged.
These mountains formed when erosion carved out peaks and valleys from a plateau..
Through harsh winds constantly battering the mountain tops possibly earthquakes which could end up grinding two mountains together,the friction of which could cause the peaks to round off.
