Description

Las Montañas Rocosas o Rocallosas son un sistema de cordilleras montañosas situado en el sector occidental de Norteamérica y que corre paralelo a la costa occidental, desde la Columbia Británica en el noroeste, pasando por la frontera entre Alberta y Columbia Británica y llegando hasta el suroeste de Estados Unidos, en Nuevo México. El pico más alto es el monte Elbert, en Colorado, con 4401 m s. n. m.

Se formaron durante la orogénesis cenozoica y están constituidas por un núcleo central de rocas cristalinas rodeado de formaciones laterales de rocas sedimentarias; el sistema ha sido marcado profundamente por la glaciación cuaternaria y la erosión atmosférica, y presenta ejemplos de fenómenos volcánicos. Tienen importantes reservas de minerales, como oro, plata, plomo, cinc, cobre y, en las regiones marginales, petróleo y carbón.
