Question: What is the only major mountain range located between the mountains that contain the temperate parts of the state where Brett Carter was born, and the mountains that are higher than them?

<P0-S0> the topography of the state is roughly defined by the continental divide, which splits much of the state into distinct eastern and western regions. <P0-S1> most of montana's 100 or more named mountain ranges are concentrated in the western half of the state, most of which is geologically and geographically part of the northern rocky mountains. <P0-S2> the absaroka and beartooth ranges in the south-central part of the state are technically part of the central rocky mountains. <P0-S3> the rocky mountain front is a significant feature in the north-central portion of the state, and there are a number of isolated island ranges that interrupt the prairie landscape common in the central and eastern parts of the state. <P0-S4> about 60 percent of the state is prairie, part of the northern great plains. <SEP> <P1-S0> oklahoma has four primary mountain ranges: the ouachita mountains, the arbuckle mountains, the wichita mountains, and the ozark mountains. <P1-S1> contained within the u.s. interior highlands region, the ozark and ouachita mountains mark the only major mountainous region between the rocky mountains and the appalachians. <P1-S2> a portion of the flint hills stretches into north-central oklahoma, and near the state's eastern border, cavanal hill is regarded by the oklahoma tourism & recreation department as the world's tallest hill; at 1,999 feet (609 m), it fails their definition of a mountain by one foot. <SEP> <P2-S0> The Great Plains lie west of the Mississippi River and east of the Rocky Mountains. <P2-S1> A large portion of the country's agricultural products are grown in the Great Plains. <P2-S2> Interior Highlands, the only major mountainous region between the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains. <P2-S3> Before their general conversion to farmland, the Great Plains were noted for their extensive grasslands, from tallgrass prairie in the eastern plains to shortgrass steppe in the western High Plains. <P2-S4> Elevation rises gradually from less than a few hundred feet near the Mississippi River to more than a mile high in the High Plains. <P2-S5> The generally low relief of the plains is broken in several places, most notably in the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains, which form the U.S. <SEP> <P3-S0> The Gulf of Mexico is the dominant factor in the climate of Tennessee, with winds from the south being responsible for most of the state's annual precipitation. <P3-S1> Most of the state has a humid subtropical climate, with the exception of some of the higher elevations in the Appalachians, which are classified as having a mountain temperate climate or a humid continental climate due to cooler temperatures. <P3-S2> Generally, the state has hot summers and mild to cool winters with generous precipitation throughout the year, with highest average monthly precipitation generally in the winter and spring months, between December and April. <P3-S3> The driest months, on average, are August to October. <P3-S4> On average the state receives 50 inches (130 cm) of precipitation annually. <P3-S5> Snowfall ranges from 5 inches (13 cm) in West Tennessee to over 16 inches (41 cm) in the higher mountains in East Tennessee. <SEP> <P4-S0> He is an attorney at Carter Shelton, PLC, where he practices tax law with his partners, Brian Shelton and Warner Jones. <P4-S1> He has also practiced law at Waller Lansden Dortch & Davis, LLP and Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP in Nashville, Tennessee. <P4-S2> He is an Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran. <P4-S3> Brett Carter (born March 2, 1972) was the 2010 Democratic nominee for the United States House of Representatives from Tennessee's 6th congressional district. <SEP> <P5-S0> The Appalachian Mountains (French: les Appalaches), often called the Appalachians, are a system of mountains in eastern North America. <P5-S1> The Appalachians first formed roughly 480 million years ago during the Ordovician Period. <P5-S2> They once reached elevations similar to those of the Alps and the Rocky Mountains before experiencing natural erosion. <P5-S3> 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.
