Answer:

The Adirondacks are classified as mountains because of the high elevation and bedrock that consists mainly of deformed and intensely metamorphosed rocks.

Explanation:

    The Adirondack Mountains of New York are sculpted by wind and rain, giving rise to peaks and valleys. Plateaus are similar to domes, but form when the collision between the tectonic plates elevates the terrain without bending or failing.

    These are limestone terrains that were dug in valleys, while protruding ridges would correspond to the hardest rocks. This succession of valleys and parallel ridges, with rivers cutting across them, characterizing this type of relief.
