Appalachian Mountains

The name colonists gave to the rugged land near the Appalachian Mountains was the "Backcountry." This region was sparsely populated and characterized by its rough terrain, making it difficult for settlers to establish permanent settlements.

The Appalachians were the western border of the colonies. They were a barrier that kept them nearer to the coast.

Well the Pacific Ocean was to the west of the colonies but, during Colonial times they were no where near the Pacific Ocean.

The Mandans lived in lodges.Not the Kiowas.

Erosion from wind and rain. It might take a million years or more but the weather can turn a sharp peak into a rounded peak.

Stone Mountain in Georgia is a good example. Rounded over the top, bet a few million years ago, it was assumed that it was a craggy peak.

No. There is no such thing as a passive plate edge. They are near a passive continental margin.

They found it more difficult to get past the higher elevation boundaries, as well as the height of the mountains them selves and absence of the road. This trail would of been easier if it was lower, and they also had to watch out for native Ameracians.

The Appalachian Mountains are belived to have been the highest mountains on earth roughfly 466 million years ago. The mountains are divided onto a series of ranges, with the individual mountains averaginf from a height of 3,000 feet (900 m). The highest of the group is Mount Mitchell at a height of 6,684 feet, (2,037 m)

1763

The French invaded their land and began creating wars between them, the Native Americans, and England. These wars were called the French and Indian War.

Proclamation of 1763

The Proclmation of 1763

No, but the Black Hills of South Dakota are sacred to the Sioux.

English lawmakers passed the Proclamation of 1763 to forbid further settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains. This was largely done to calm the fears of uneasy Native Americans who had opposed the colonists in the French and Indian War. Many colonists resented the proclamation and ignored it altogether.

The natural resources in the Appalachian region are coal, zinc, iron, gold, led, oil, and gas.

Erosion after millions of years have caused the jagged edges to smooth out. Hi

It is snow clad mountain. It is world third highest mountain which is in Nepal.

Note: This question was asked 9/11/2007 after Appalachian State defeated Michigan in the first game of the 2007 season. Appalachian State was the Division 1-AA national champion in the 2005 and 2006 season. Most of their team is back for the 2007 season. They are a very, very good football team. Michigan lost many seniors from last year's team. Not only did they lose to Appalachian State at home but the next week they were blown out at home by the University of Oregon, 39-7. I would say that, yes, Appalachian State is really that good and, conversely, Michigan has some serious problems that need to be corrected for them to salvage a winning season.
