1. appalachians

   The Appalachian Mountains (French: Appalaches), often called the Appalachians, are a system of mountains in eastern to northeastern North America. The Appalachians first formed roughly 480 million years ago during the Ordovician Period. They once reached elevations similar to those of the Alps and the Rocky Mountains before experiencing natural erosion. The Appalachian chain is a barrier to east–west travel, as it forms a series of alternating ridgelines and valleys oriented in opposition to most highways and railroads running east–west. Definitions vary on the precise boundaries of the Appalachians. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) defines the Appalachian Highlands physiographic division as consisting of 13 provinces: the Atlantic Coast Uplands, Eastern Newfoundland Atlantic, Maritime Acadian Highlands, Maritime Plain, Notre Dame and Mégantic Mountains, Western Newfoundland Mountains, Piedmont, Blue Ridge, Valley and Ridge, St. Lawrence Valley, Appalachian Plateaus, and New England province. The Appalachians do not include the Adirondack Mountains, a distinct and growing range that is a part of the Canadian Shield and belongs to the Grenville Orogeny.

1. appalachians

   The Appalachians, or Appalachian Mountains, are a vast system of mountains in eastern North America, extending from the province of Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada, down through the eastern United States, all the way to the state of Alabama. They encompass foothills, plateaus, and a multitude of ranges, including the Great Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge Mountains. This range is known for its great biodiversity, rich history, extensive recreational amenities, and significant coal and mineral resources. The Appalachians played a crucial role in the early history and industrialization of the U.S. and continue to affect the economies and cultures of the regions they pass through.
