The correct answer is - They formed long ago, and erosion has beveled them to their present elevation.
The Appalachian Mountain Range is one of the oldest mountain ranges on the planet. They have formed in the Ordovician Period, around 480 million years ago. When they formed and were at their peak, the Appalachians were much larger and higher than what they are in the present. The reason for their decline in size is attributed to the erosion. The erosion is a process that removes the material from its original position. This process has been influencing, at different rates, the Appalachians for almost half a billion years. Even though the erosion is not a process that acts very quickly, when put the time that it influenced these mountains we will see that it managed to lower them significantly. That process continues in the present, and in the manner in which the continents are moving, there shouldn't be any force that will help lift up the Appalachians again, but instead they will continue to shrink until they are flattened in the distant future.
<u>Answer:</u>
For example, the dinosaurs' fossils helped the scientists to learn about their habits, habitats, etc.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Scientists greatly depend upon existing biological evidences of extinct organisms in the form of 'fossils' to study the earlier life existed within the biosphere and the geosphere.
Fossil research allows researchers to learn a great deal not only about the organisms' live form and behaviour but also the Earth's geosphere and biosphere at that time. Specially, transitional fossils are more apt to study as they demonstrate the transitional states of a fossil between the ancestral type and the descendants' recent form.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune fit that description, so pick anyone!
