Smoky MountainsBy: Koltyn Schuessler

Big Questions

1. How did they form?2. How long have they been

around?3. How did they get their name?

My Notes

• The mountains stand higher then surrounding terrain.

• They form by when earth’s tectonic plants crash together

• Smoky Mountains been around since the earth began

• Smoky Mountains got their name becuase of the blue mist that always seems to hover around the peaks and valleys.

My Notes (cont.)

• The smoky mountains lie between Knowville, TN and Asheville, N.C. blending into the Blue Ridge escarpment to the east in North Carolina
