The Western Cordillera is typically considered smaller than the Appalachians in terms of length and overall land area. The Appalachians stretch over 1,500 miles from Alabama to Canada, while the Western Cordillera spans about 3,000 miles along the western coast of North and South America. Additionally, the Western Cordillera is generally narrower in width compared to the broader Appalachian mountain range.
When the Supercontinent broke apart, the Appalachian Mountains were forming. Their formation was part of the tetonic plate activity going on at that time, and scientists believe the Appalachians once had active volcanos. So the Appalachian Mountains are millions of years older than the Rocky Mountains in the west. Therefore, the Appalachians have also had millions of years of erosion; though still having high elevations, they are more much more rounded than the Rocky's peaks, and have lush valleys surrounding the Appalachians.
The Appalachians are the oldest mountain range in the world. North America has both the newest mountain range (the Rockies) and the oldest. The Alps are somewhere in between. Every other mountain range you can name is younger than the Appalachians.
The Rockies are higher in elevation than the Appalachians. The highest peak in the Rockies, Mount Elbert, reaches over 14,000 feet, while the highest peak in the Appalachians, Mount Mitchell, is just over 6,600 feet.
Generally, states in the western part of the US are larger than those in the eastern part. Western states like Texas, California, and Alaska are known for their vast land areas, while eastern states like Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Massachusetts are relatively smaller in size.
The Appalachians are older than the Alps. The Appalachians were created many eras ago when North America crashed into Europe. Then the Appalachians were split apart when the Atlantic Ocean opened up. The Mid Atlantic ridge and other phenomena split them into The Mountains of Norway and Sweden, The Highlands of Scotland, The Appalachians of North America, and the Ouchita Mountains of Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. The Alps were pushed up when Italy moved up and Crashed into Europe. That happened only a few Million years ago.
The Appalachians are older than the rocky mountains because of the fact that the Appalachians are smaller in size proving that the Appalachians have had longer to have been worn away by weathering also please do not just copy and paste you will learn nothing...
The Rockies dominate the western US, while the Appalachians the East. The Appalachians are very old, and worn down to hills, but the Rockies are newer, and tower over the landscape, creating highlands and plateaus.
All Australian territories - mainland and offshore - are smaller than Western Australia. The Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory are both mainland territories, and they are both smaller than Western Australia. Western Australia is also the largest of the six states.
Early Americans thought of the Area between the Appalachians and the Mississippi River as the western frontier.
The appalachians are older than the rockies.
Smaller than 20mm.
Generally, the states in the Western part are bigger.
Generally, the states in the Western part are bigger.
Yes.
As of the 2000 census, the population of the Cordillera Region of the Philippines is more than 1,365,000 people.

The Grand Canyon is in the western US.The "Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania" is in the east, but is much smaller than the Grand Canyon in the west.
