What is the height of the Appalachian mountains?
The Appalachian mountains are about 3,000 ft tall. Any other questions? :)
Is the Appalachian Mountains average height?
No, the Rockies are the tallest.
What is the height of the Appalachian Mountains in Pennsylvania?
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)

What is the reason why the appalachians are not extremely tall mountains?
The Appalachian Mountains are millions of years older than the Rocky Mountains. Geologists believe the Appalachian Mountains once had active volcanoes because of the types of rocks found but these went extinct long ago. Because of erosion, wind, and time, the Appalachian Mountains are now more rounded and less in height.
How tall is the Appalachian mountains?
Highest point Mount Mitchell, elevation 6684 feet
How high are the Appalachian Mountains?
Around 300 million years ago, in the Pennsylvanian Period, they were similar in height to the present-day Himalayas. The collision of the African tectonic plate (Gondwana) into the North American continent spread a collision belt from Maine (White Mountains) to Texas (Marathon Mountains). This roughly marked the complete formation of Pangea, +/- a few million years--geologically marginal. The mountains of northern Scotland and western Morocco were formed in the very same collision, and during the latter breakup of Pangea, that land pulled apart to it's present spot. The gist is, the Appalachians were once the centerpiece of Pangea, and rose to Himalayan heights, nearing at least 30,000 feet. 300 million years of erosion knocked about 4 miles of bulk off the top. It is extremely difficult to estimate exact height, but it is entirely possible that Mt. Mitchell, NC has been the tallest mountain in the history of the earth!
What type of terrain is Georgia?
Along with other southern states, Georgia is filled with swamps and marshes. Georgia also has tons of alligators. One of Georgia's most famous rivers, the Chattahoochee River flows through two major Georgian lakes, West Point Lake and Lake Sidney Lanier. Mountains including the Appalachians and the tip of the Blue Ridge Mountains cover northern Georgia. The highest point in Georgia is Brasstown Bald located on the Blue Ridge Mountains with the height of 4,784 feet. These mountains flatten into rolling hills in the South. The lowest point is below sea level where Georgia meets the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic Coastal Plain and the Gulf Coastal plain makes up 60% of Georgia.
What two processes are most responsible for the decrease of height of the Appalachian Mountains?
The two primary processes responsible for the decrease in height of the Appalachian Mountains are erosion and weathering. Erosion, driven by water, ice, and wind, gradually wears down the mountain surfaces, while weathering breaks down rocks into smaller particles. These processes have been ongoing for millions of years, leading to the gradual reduction of the mountains' elevation. Additionally, tectonic activity has diminished over time, contributing to the overall stability and erosion of the range.

What problems did the early settlers face when they crossed the Appalachian mountains?
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.
Are the Andes Mountains in Chad?
No. The Andes are in South America and Chad is in Africa. The Tibesti Mountains are located in northern Chad. Emi Koussi is the highest peak in Chad ... its height is 3,445 meters (11,302 feet).
