They are 50-100 million years ago

The mountains of western Canada are tall and jagged, creating magnificent scenery. They contain many minerals, dense forests, mineral resources, and potential for hydroelectric power. Banff and Jasper National Parks as well as other national parks and public lands combined with private activities, such as ski resorts, attract millions of tourists each year. As with most things in life, a price must be paid for benefits. The jagged and tall mountains inhibit transportation. Only a few roads and railways cross the mountains, so that east-west movement across Canada is limited.

Why are the peaks of the rocky mountains are higher and more jagged than the Appalachian mountains because?

The Appalachian mountains are about 400-500 million years old and have thus been eroded down. The Rocky mountains are very young (they are still being built) and are therefore much higher and jagged as the forces of erosion have not yet had time to grind them away.
