What mountain range runs through the Northeast and Southeast of the United States?

• A. Appalachian Mountains
• B. Rocky Mountains
• C. Sierra Nevada
• D. Andes

Answer: (A)

The range you’re looking for runs along the eastern edge of North America, from Canada down through the Northeast and into the Southeast. That long chain is the Appalachian Mountains. They form the eastern backbone of the United States, which is why they fit this description. The other ranges are in different places: the Rocky Mountains are in the western U.S., the Sierra Nevada is in California and Nevada, and the Andes are in South America.
