Why are the Applalachian mountains more rounder and shorter than the Rock mountains?
The reason why is that the Appalachian mountains are smoother than the Rockies.
How are Rocky mountains different from Appalachian mountains?
The Rocky Mountains are taller than Appalachian Mountains and has sharp pointy peaks. The Rocky Mountains are taller.They Both have eroded. The Appalachian Mountains are older and shorter than rocky mountains.
What caused the slow erosion of the Appalachian 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.
Why are the Appalachian Mountains shorter than the Rocky Mountains?
The Appalachian Mountains are older and more eroded than the Rocky Mountains.
How are the Appalachian Mountains similar and different from the Rocky Mountains?
The Rocky Mountains are taller than Appalachian Mountains and has sharp pointy peaks. The Rocky Mountains are taller.They Both have eroded. The Appalachian Mountains are older and shorter than rocky mountains.
Why was the Appalachian mountain was once higher than the rocky mountains?
It is because of the altitude. The Appalachian Mountains are shorter than the Rocky Mountains. The lower the moutain the warmer the mountain. The higher the mountain the colder the mountain. By J.O.B
Which observations about the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains would support the claim that exposure to weathering and erosion over time can change land forms?
A. The Appalachian Mountains are found in the eastern United States and the Rocky Mountains are found near the west coast. B. The shorter and more rounded Appalachian Mountains are more than four times older than the taller and more jagged Rocky Mountains. C. The length of the Appalachian chain is approximately 2,400 kilometers, and the Rocky Mountain chain is about twice as long. D. The Appa Mountains are composed mostly of sedimentary rocks while the Rocky Mountains also contain other rock types.
What do the Appalachian Mountains look like?
The Appalachian Mountains are mountains that are only about 30,000 ft in elevation, they are much older than the Rockey Mountains, so they have been weathered and eroded in witch gives them rounded tops and there shorter elevation.
Are the Appalachian mountains the shortest range in the US?
No. Many smaller ranges, like the Ozarks, Ouachitas, and the Black Hills are shorter.
Do the Rocky Mountains run through North America from north to south?
There are two primary mountain ranges in the United States. In the West, the Rocky Mountains run an almost north-south route through the western states. In the East, The Appalachian Mountains run diagonally in a southwestern route through eastern states from New England down to Georgia. In both of these mountain ranges, exist other smaller mountain ranges with names separate from the primary range. The Appalachian Mountains and all of its other smaller ranges are millions of years OLDER than the Rocky Mountains and all of its smaller mountain ranges.Note: By smaller, this means shorter in distance than the primary mountain range. Some of the smaller ranges can be shorter in height, as well, but not necessarily.
What causes mountains to become shorter over time?
Mountains can become shorter over time due to processes like erosion, weathering, and tectonic activity. Erosion from factors such as water, wind, and ice can wear down the surface of mountains, while weathering breaks down the rocks that make up the mountains. Tectonic processes like plate movement can also cause mountains to slowly erode and decrease in height.
How do mountains get shorter or taller?
Mountains can get shorter through erosion, which wears away the rock and soil on the surface. Mountains can get taller through tectonic activity, where the Earth's plates collide or move apart, causing the land to rise and form new mountain ranges.
