Answer:

The Adirondacks, Alleghenies, Catskills, Green Mountains, and White Mountains  are part of the Appalachian System of the Northeast U.S.

Explanation:

The Appalachian Mountains are a vast system of folding mountain ranges on the east coast of North America. They extend from Newfoundland and Labrador, in Canada to Alabama in the United States, although the northernmost region of the system is in Gaspe, Quebec.

The exact boundaries of the Appalachians depend on their definition. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) defines the physiographic division of the Appalachian Highlands, consisting of 13 physiographic provinces: the Atlantic Coast Uplands, Eastern Newfoundland Atlantic, Maritime Acadian Highlands, Maritime Plain, Notre Dame and Megantic Mountains, Western Newfoundland Mountains, Piedmont, Blue Ridge Mountains, Ridge-and-valley Appalachians, Saint Lawrence Valley, Appalachian Plateaus, New England province, and Adirondack Mountains.

The range is mainly located in the United States but extends to southeastern Canada, extends 160 to 480 km wide and extends from Newfoundland Island to central Alabama. This mountain system is divided into a series of mountain ranges. In total, it is about 2,400 km long.

What are four pieces of evidence for continental drift?
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

- Shape of the continents

- Fossils of the same species found on continents that are not connected

- Evidence of ice sheets in places that are hot in the present

- Mid-ocean ridges

Explanation:

The continental drift theory is a theory that suggests that the continents are always on the move, thus they change their shape, location, collide with each other, move away from each other etc.

The shape of South America and Africa is one of the evidences. If the shapes of the continents are taken out of a map, and the eastern coast of South America and western coast of Africa are merged, they fit in perfectly.

There are numerous fossils of the same species of animals and plants that have been found all over the world, even though the continents are isolated and separated by water bodies.

In some places that are very hot in the presence, like South Africa, have evidence of ice sheets. In the current conditions that is simply not possible considering that the temperature in this part of the world goes well over 40 C degrees.

The mid-ocean ridges are very nice proof of the continental drift theory. They are one of the evidence that can be observed in the present, where new crust is constantly forming and pilling up, while pushing the old crust sideways further away from it.
