Appalachian Mountains

The Appalachian Mountains, often called the Appalachians, are a system of mountains in eastern to northeastern North America. The Appalachians first formed roughly 480 million years ago during the Ordovician Period. They once reached elevations similar to those of the Alps and the Rocky Mountains before experiencing natural erosion. The Appalachian chain is a barrier to east–west travel, as it forms a series of alternating ridgelines and valleys oriented in opposition to most highways and railroads running east–west.
Definitions vary on the precise boundaries of the Appalachians. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) defines the Appalachian Highlands physiographic division as consisting of 13 provinces: the Atlantic Coast Uplands, Eastern Newfoundland Atlantic, Maritime Acadian Highlands, Maritime Plain, Notre Dame and Mégantic Mountains, Western Newfoundland Mountains, Piedmont, Blue Ridge, Valley and Ridge, St. Lawrence Valley, Appalachian Plateaus, and New England province. The Appalachians do not include the Adirondack Mountains, a distinct and growing range that is a part of the Canadian Shield and belongs to the Grenville Orogeny.
== Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, Part II ==
The Appalachian Mountains were first seen once Sub-Zero unshielded his eyes and noticed he was no longer in China at the Lin Kuei compound. Raiden met up with him as he forewarned him to never wander in the vicinity as it would've been suicide, whether he would be able to find his old friend, Smoke. The Thunder God managed to separate him, Smoke, Cyrax and Sektor from the place, but Kuai must hurry before he should be at the mercy of Oniro!
Sub-Zero went on hot pursuit, and Kung Lao, Aiko, and Nightwolf set up camp till they heard an abrupt clap of thunder. Since their skin never tingled and there was no moisture, the Indian figured with the monk it was Raiden looking for another ally. Before they knew it, he was as they saw the icy paths, the calling card of Sub-Zero, as well as feeling the chilling air.
They followed to a summit where an altercation was taking place, and Sub-Zero and Smoke were in the middle of the scrimmage. Aiko gave Kung Lao a unique idea on using his cheetah Animality against the Grandmaster's various forms, and he was at even footing till the transformation wore out. Oniro had just enough strength to force him off but was caught off guard by his teleportation! Lao conjured a Tornado as Oniro escaped, and Aiko used her cardiokinesis subduing the enemy, and making his heart explode!!
Sub-Zero reunited with his long, lost brother, and met up with the heroes. Smoke volunteered to join in on the fight against Kahn and took the heroes to New York where the cyborgs awaited.
== Shinnok's Uprising ==
At the Lin Kuei headquarters, Smoke disobeyed Kuai's orders on staying in base, as Smoke actually remembered the fight against Oniro and recalling it being at the Appalachian Mountains, he believed the deceased Grandmaster had the sacred Dragon Medallion! To his surprise, Smoke was correct, and he offered it to his surrogate brother!
