What is the oldest mountain range in North America?

The oldest mountain range in North America is the Appalachian Mountains. They extend from Newfoundland to Alabama. Mt. Mitchell, the highest mountain on the east coast, is located in the Appalachian Mountains.

Most of the Appalachian Mountains are covered in deciduous forests, which include oak, hickory and maple trees. Coal is a major industry in the Appalachian Mountains. Stone, oil, iron and timber are also produced in this region. North Carolina uses the timber to make furniture. The Appalachian Mountains are also home to the Appalachian Natural Scenic Trail, which is 200 miles long and is the longest foot path on the eastern coast.
