are the Appalachian Mountains in the Eastern or the Western of the united states?

Answer 1

the Appalachians are on the East side, in PA and other states around it

Answer 2

The Ridge-and-valley Appalachians are a belt within the Appalachian Mountains extending from northern New Jersey westward into Pennsylvania and southward into Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, and Tennessee. They form a broad arc between the Piedmont and the Allegheny and Cumberland Plateaus.

These mountains are notable because they form long, even ridges, with long, continuous valleys in between. From a great enough altitude, they look almost like corduroy, except that the widths of the valleys are somewhat variable and ridges sometimes meet in a vee.

These curious formations are the remnants of an ancient fold-and-thrust belt, west of the mountain core that formed in the Alleghenian orogeny.Here, strata have been folded westward, and forced over massive thrust faults; there is little metamorphism, and no igneous intrusion.The ridges represent the edges of the erosion-resistant strata, and the valleys portray the absence of the more erodable strata. Smaller streams have developed their valleys following the lines of the more easily eroded strata. But a few major rivers, such as the Delaware River, the Susquehanna River, and the Potomac River are evidently older than the present mountains, having cut water gaps that are perpendicular to hard strata ridges. The evidence point to a wearing down of the entire region (the original mountains) to a low level with little relief, so that major rivers were flowing in unconsolodated sediments that were unaffected by the underlying rock structure. Then the region was uplifted slowly enough that the rivers were able to maintain their course, cutting through the ridges as they developed.

Answer 3

The Appalachians Mountains are in Eastern United States, running through New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, and Georgia.

hope it helps.

Answer 4

the applachain mountains are in the eastern part of the United States

Answer 5

Technically it incredibly is interior the middle as all the rivers and streams west of the divide drain into the Pacific Ocean and all the rivers and streams east of the divide drain into the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean.The watershed rather is in all the yankee Continents the two north and south especially following the Rockies in North u.s. and the Andee's in South u.s.. The jap divide would not stretch the finished Continent.

Answer 6

Eastern... think Virginia, North Carolina.....

Answer 7

Eastern part. The Rocky Mountains are in the West.
