(john here) Mountain ranges are created by collisions between tectonic plates, The more forceful the collision, the higher the mountains will be. But nature (weather) erodes landforms over long stretches of time. The Rockies are relatively young so they are fairly high and have sharply defined rock forms and faces. The Appalachians are much older so they are more rounded and weathered down.
