Appalachian Relief
The Appalachian relief is a type of relief of folded structure.
It is presented in the form of the parallel hard stone peaks (of the sandstone or the Quartzite S), between which depressions in tender rocks are (Schiste S and marl S).
It is formed in the very old folded chains which were levelled (altitude equalizes tops shows it) then were again raised causing a resumption of the erosion which highlights hard stones.
The standard relief is in the United States in the mountain of the the Appalachian Mountains; but one finds also such reliefs in the chain of the Cape in South Africa, and in small-scale model, in France, in the Armorican Massif in the south of Rennes and in the Massif Central in the south of Saint-Africa.
