foothills
Sometimes they are called the foothills, or the piedmont, (French for foothills).
The area around a mountain is generally referred to as its base or foothills. This region can include lower elevation terrain extending outward from the mountain's slopes.
If you're talking Appalachian mountains, it's called the Piedmont.
A foothills region is an area located at the base of a mountain or hilly area, characterized by gently sloping land that transitions from the flat plains to the higher elevations of the mountains. These regions often have a mix of both flat and hilly terrain, creating a diverse landscape with unique ecological features and biodiversity. Foothills regions are often important as transitional zones between lowland areas and mountainous regions.
The region in California that consists of long mountain ranges and valleys is called the Sierra Nevada mountain range.

An alluvial fan is typically formed at the base of a mountain or hilly area where a river or stream exits a narrow canyon or valley, and the water carrying sediments spreads out onto a flatter, open area. The fan shape is created as the water slows down and deposits the sediment it was carrying.
The base of a mountain is typically referred to as the mountain's "foothill" or simply as the "base" of the mountain.
Piles of rock fragments at the base of a mountain are called talus or scree. These accumulations occur due to erosion and weathering processes causing rocks to fall and accumulate at the mountain's base. They can also provide insights into the geology and erosion patterns of the area.
