The Appalachian Mountains were formed millions of years ago by the collision of two tectonic plates. The mountains are home to a variety of plant and animal life, including many rare and endangered species. The region is also home to a number of Native American tribes, who have lived in the area for centuries.

In the 19th century, Appalachia was a major center of the coal industry. The coal industry brought prosperity to the region, but it also led to environmental problems. Today, Appalachia is still struggling to recover from the decline of the coal industry.
