Appalachian Mountains

Kentucky was the first state west of the Appalachian mountains, admitted to the Union in 1792.

The Rocky Mountains are younger and still actively rising due to tectonic activity, creating taller and more rugged peaks. In contrast, the Appalachian Mountains are older and have been eroded over time, resulting in smoother, lower peaks.

The Appalachian Mountains start in Alabama in the south and extend all the way to Maine in the north, covering about 1,500 miles. They are a major mountain range in the eastern United States.

Highest point Mount Mitchell, elevation 6684 feet

The Appalachian Mountains were worn down by the processes of erosion, including water, wind, and glaciers over millions of years. These erosional forces gradually smoothed out the peaks and created the rolling landscape we see today.

Mount Rogers is the highest mountain in Virginia, reaching an elevation of 5,729 feet. It is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains and is part of the Appalachian Mountain range.

Some mountains around the Great Plains include the Rocky Mountains to the west, the Black Hills in South Dakota, and the Ozark Mountains in Missouri and Arkansas. These mountain ranges border the Great Plains and provide a stark contrast to the otherwise flat landscape.

Mountain and landforms are important to mankind for various reasons. They provide important habitats for diverse plant and animal species. They also play a crucial role in regulating the climate, water cycle, and soil erosion. Additionally, landforms offer opportunities for recreation, tourism, and cultural significance.

Mountains are formed through tectonic plate movements. When two tectonic plates push against each other, they can create folded and uplifted layers of rock, resulting in the formation of mountains. Additionally, volcanic activity can also contribute to mountain formation when magma pushes through the Earth's crust and solidifies.

Cloud forests are misty rainforests located in the mountains, characterized by persistent cloud cover and high levels of moisture. These unique ecosystems are often found at higher altitudes in tropical regions, supporting a diverse array of plant and animal species adapted to the cool, damp conditions.

The highest known mountain is Mount Olympus on Mars. It is 22 kilometers high. (That's a bit over 72,000 feet.)

The highest mountain above sea level on Earth is Mount Everest (on the border of Nepal and Tibet) at 29,029 feet; but the tallest mountain on Earth is Mauna Kea in Hawaii. From where it starts under the ocean to its very peak it is 33,465 feet tall.

The uplift stage in mountain forming is when tectonic forces push rock layers upward, creating mountains. This can result from the collision of tectonic plates or the movement of hot magma beneath the Earth's crust. As the rock layers are pushed upward, they can fold, fracture, and uplift to form mountain ranges.

rocky I think

cause they had horses

The Appalachians formed when North America and Africa collided. In time, the places separated and so much crust was created that the mountains were no longer at the plate boundary.

yes it is.

Western Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Northern North Carolina, Eastern Kentucky and Eastern Tennessee. Some people also add Georgia and northeastern Alabama.
Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia

it is the Alamo

The Rocky mountains are bigger than the Appalachia Mountains. Its true you can look it up.

YES this is true in most situations . HOPE i helped 😄

True - Isaac =]

Apalachee

they hike, camp, and farm

The Appalachian mountains are a lot older than the Rockies so they are shorter, and rounder. The erosion has been slow over thousands of years, but things that made the mountains erode are running water like streams or rain, wind, and gravity pulling rocks downhill.
