	Mountain Ranges in North America
		The composition of the mountain relates to the way it was geologically created-- whether it be on a fault line, from a volcano, etc. Much of the mountainous region in the United States is in the western half of the country.
		Much cultivation and urbanization has occurred in the Appalachians, but there are still many remote areas.
		The Appalachian Mountains are different from other ranges because most of their trees are deciduous, meaning that they change during seasons and lose their leaves annually.

	Allegheny Mountains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The eastern edge of the Allegheny Mountains is marked by the Allegheny Front, which is also the eastern terminus of the Allegheny Plateau of which the mountains are a part.
		To the east of the Alleghenies lies the Ridge and Valley Province of the Appalachians, which itself is flanked on the east by the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia and South Mountain in Pennsylvania.
		The mountains to the south of the Alleghenies, the Appalachians in westernmost Virginia, eastern Kentucky, and eastern Tennessee, are the Cumberlands.

	Appalachian Mountains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The second pronunciation, with a 'short a' (as in "cat"), is favored in the southern part of the mountain range and in the Piedmont region, such as in Virginia and the Carolinas [1].
		In addition to the true folded mountains, known as the ridge and valley province, the area of dissected plateau to the north and west of the mountains is usually grouped with the Appalachians.
		In the folded mountains the coal is in metamorphosed form as anthracite represented by the Coal Region of northeastern Pennsylvania.

	Geologic History of Georgia: Overview
		During this time, the formation and erosion of mountain ranges, dramatic climactic changes, several episodes of flooding by the sea, and volcanic eruptions have influenced the state's geology.
		Sediments eroded from the Taconic mountain range during the Late Ordovician and Early Silurian were carried westward, forming a delta system that discharged sand and mud into the shallow seas covering the central part of North America.
		Along the western side of the Appalachian mountain range lay a vast swampy lowland covered by lush tropical forests that were inhabited by fern-like plants, huge insects, and amphibians.

	Appalachian mountain range (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		South of New York, the mountains are looselyorganized into two large plateau regions, the Allegheny Plateau in western Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia, and the Cumberland Plateau in southern West Virginia, western Virginia, eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina.
		These mountains are a geographical boundary between the easternseaboard of the U.S. and the Midwestern regions of the country.
		The birth of theAppalachian ranges, some 480 million years ago, marks the first of several mountain building plate collisions that culminated inthe construction of the supercontinent Pangea with the Appalachians near the center.Because North America and Africa were connected, the Appalachians forms part of the same mountain chain as the Atlas mountains in Morocco.

	Appalachian Crop Germ Plasm
		Parallel with the mountain range are the plateau and valley ranges (Brooks, 1965).
		The parental materials for the mountain soils consist of igneous and metamorphic rocks; whereas parental material for the plateau and valley soils consists of sedimentary rocks.
		Much of the region's latitudinal range (between 33 and 43 degrees north) is within the range in which the primary centers of plant origins are located, and its many micro-environments include the natural selection forces that effect changes in plant populations.

	Southern Appalachian Geology
		The Appalachian Mountain range, in eastern North America, stretches from Alabama to Nova Scotia.

		By 440 mya, the island arc had docked against the continent, pushing the sedimentary material onto the continent itself into a mountain range as high as today's Himalayas.

		Appalachian Mountain Man," died on March 7 at the age of 89.
		From fieldwork begun in the Appalachian Mountains of East Tennessee, Professor Rodgers developed "a detailed, first-hand, encyclopedic knowledge of the entire range from Nova Scotia to Alabama," says his colleague Leo J. Hickey, professor of geology and geophysics and curator of paleobotany at the Peabody Museum of Natural History.
		"[N]ot content to confine his research to a single mountain range, he and his students traveled the globe, enriching the science of geology with the idea that folded mountain belts share a set of basic similarities that are the result of a predictable set of forces acting upon them," says Hickey.

	Appalachian Mountains
		Instead, the Appalachians are roughly equal in height to mountains you've never heard of, such as the Yablonovy Range of eastern Siberia (high point of 8862') or the Mtumba Range in Malawi, Africa (high point of 8071').
		There are a few places in the Appalachians not covered with trees: the high peaks of the Northern Appalachians, where the combination of both high altitude and latitude keeps a few small and widely scattered areas above timberline, and "Balds" in the south where, mysteriously, huge open meadows cover summits that should be forested.
		The Southern Appalachians are often said to begin south of the Potomac River, and the Central Appalachians could be defined as those of New York and Pennsylvania.

	Stress from plate collisions travels through continents (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		When continental plates come together to form mountain ranges, the impact from the collision bends microscopic grains in rocks more than 1,200 miles away, according to an article published in the Aug. 1 issue of Science.
		"Surprisingly, deformation patterns from both transects were identical, even though the Appalachian range on the eastern side of the North American continent differs dramatically in age and style of mountain formation from the Cordilleran range on the western side," van der Pluijm says.
		While the orientation of the calcite grain stress indicators did not change along either transect, the level of stress recorded decreased steadily with distance from the mountain range.

		In many places, especially in the older Appalachian range, angular unconformities abound, showing where ancient sediments have been tilted and partially eroded, with newer more horizontal sediments being deposited atop the tilted erosion contact surface.
