I'm by the river Meuse in Wallonie, which still cuts through the Ardennes, another end of same old mountain range as the Appalachians, continuously eroding while mountains uplifted (just as Indus and Brahmaputra cut through Himalayas now), before the Atlantic ocean existed. Makes you think about time, pity schools don't teach this stuff.

The Rockies and most of the mountain ranges on the west coast were formed from the erosion of the Appalachian mountains!
