Question

ii) The Appalachian Mountains in United States formed part of the same mountain chain as the Little Atlas in Morocco, in Africa known as the Central Pangean Mountains. Research and find out the names of two plateaus or mountain ranges which were earlier either connected to each other or have been formed due to Plate Tectonics.

Answer 1

Answer:

The Appalachian Mountains, often called the Appalachians, are a system of mountains in eastern 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.
