The Appalachian Mountains are a much older mountain range and have been through more weathering and erosion than most mountains.
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.
The collision of tectonic plates during the formation of the supercontinent Pangaea is the most likely geological event that caused the Appalachian Mountains to form. Approximately 480 million years ago, the collision between the North American and African plates caused the mountains to uplift.

The Appalachian mountains were formed as a result of a collision between the North American plate and the African plate during the Paleozoic era. This collision caused the uplift and folding of rocks that eventually formed the mountain range we see today.
The Appalachian Mountains in North America and the Zagros Mountains in Iran have been formed primarily through folding processes. These mountains were created as a result of tectonic plate collisions that caused layers of rock to fold and uplift over millions of years.
Mountains can become rounder over time due to erosion processes such as weathering, abrasion, and mass wasting caused by wind, water, and ice. These processes gradually wear down the sharp edges and peaks of mountains, leading to a smoother, more rounded appearance over time.
