Sun, rain, freezing cold and wind gradually break up the movements into smaller rocks. Running water in rivers carries away the rocks. As they move, they bang together and break up until they are sand or silt.
The Three mountain ranges are: -Cascades -Alaska and Aleutian Ranges -Coast Ranges - On the coastline of the Pacific is the Sierra Nevada of California
Wearing and erosion only wears down a small proportion of rocks and soil compared to the whole continent. New mountain ranges are also constantly formed as tectonic plates push against each other.
(Mountain) ranges
Sonar Raders were used to discover "underwater mountain ranges"
One tectonic plate moving into another one causes mountain ranges to rise.
Deposition and erosion can wear down a mountain and cause it to shrink.
Those would be the Sierra Madre Oriental and Sierra Madre Occidental mountain ranges, respectively.
Erosion. As the water flows down a mountain, the mountain erodes, or wears away =O)
