1. Smoky Mountains By: Koltyn Schuessler

2. Big Questions 1.How did they form? 2.How long have they been around? 3.How did they get their name?

3. 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.

4. 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
