Robert,
Right you are. Erosion through a plateau formation creates land reliefs that we all hold dear. But, it's like Ed points out. The definition of what is or is not a mountain is not well-defined. Geology is a heck of a complicated science, but endlessly fascinating.

Heck...every single mountain in the ridge & valley system in Alabama would have to go, along with most of the Ozarks, Ouahchita, and every other range in Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
