Physical Geography of the US and Canada

Question 7 • TX-World Geography Studies B-CR

Which of the following statements about mountain ranges in the United States and Canada is false?

Answer
A
The Piedmont region is the fall line between the Appalachian Mountains and the east coast of the US.
B
The Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Cascades both follow the Pacific Coast.
C
The Rocky Mountains are east of the Appalachian Mountains.
D
The highest peaks in the Rocky Mountains are over 14,000 feet high.

Explanation

The Rocky Mountains are in western North America, while the Appalachian Mountains are in the eastern United States and Canada. Therefore, the Rockies are west of the Appalachians, not east of them, making statement C false. The Rockies do have peaks over 14,000 feet, and the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges are both in the western United States near the Pacific Coast.
