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.
