Ah yes the ancient and majestic mountains of the.. checks notes Florida panhandle?

I knew about the Appalachian and Scottish highland connection, but I did not realize the chain extends all the way into Greenland and Scandinavia! Per my quick Google search, it says there are remnants of the same mountain chain in 9 countries!
I knew the Appalachians were so old they'd worn down to unremarkable peaks, but I still hadn't considered they were tectonically old.
This is really interesting. The Ouachita Mts are also listed in the article and they are a really pretty part of the world to stop in if you are in southeastern Oklahoma
Damn where did Iceland go
Also IIRC a lot of the pacific coast mountains around the world are from the same volcanic activities caused by the Ring of Fire
The most amazing part of this is that Florida is shown to be a part of the Appalachian Mountains. Meanwhile, its highest point is only 345 feet (105 meters), which is the lowest state high point of all 50 states.
Way back when in the brontosauria two very fat brontosauree started fighting each other. They went up the mountain for privacy and one was on top of the other and then thr other way around. What a fight! What passion. They broke back the mountain. That's why real brontosaurus are found in water. LOL I know their name isn't brontosaurus! One was Uuuhoohuuumpfffshhhthuuuu. The other went by George, but we can't corrpbolate that encabrulator.
