erosion by water
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.

the peaks become weathered and eroded. that's why the peaks are 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.

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.
Jagged mountain peaks become rounded over time due to erosion caused by factors such as wind, water, and ice. These forces gradually wear away at the sharp edges and steep slopes of the peaks, smoothing them out and rounding their contours. Additionally, geological processes such as weathering and tectonic activity can also contribute to the rounding of mountain peaks.

sierra
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.
Tall, rocky, jagged peaks are young: Himalayas Low, tree covered, rounded, hill-like features are old: Appalachians
One clue that a mountain is young is if it has sharp, jagged peaks and steep slopes. This indicates that the mountain has undergone recent tectonic activity, such as uplift or faulting. In contrast, an old mountain would have more rounded peaks and gentle slopes due to erosion over time.
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.
Weathering rounded the mountains by breaking down jagged peaks.
Sierra means "mountain range" in Spanish, referring specifically to a mountain range with jagged peaks.

Yes, the term rounded mountains refers to the rounded peaks. Rounded peaks indicate age and weathering forces over a long period of time. The Blue Ridge Mountains which are part of the Appalachian Mountain range all have rounded peaks because the Appalachian Mountain range is millions of years old. In comparison, the Rocky Mountains are not rounded; they are much younger than the Appalachian Mountain range.
