Science, Continental - Continental where 100 million years ago where these two Earth crust collided together and after a while it started building up, and eventually became a mountain. The Rocky Mountains formed west to east, as based on geological evidence. The Appalachian Mountains formed from east to west, again based on geological evidence. The Appalachian Mountains are much older than The Rocky Mountains. The Rocky Mountains contains rock sediments proven to be from The Appalachian Mountains.

Where is the rocky mountains located and how do they form?
the rocky mountains are located in North America. A long time ago, there was one big continent on the planet earth and soon enough, it drifted apart into plates. When those plates crashed together, they forced the earth's crust to go up, and over time the plates were pushed together so much, it forced them really high and they formed the Rocky mountains.
