Question: What is the only major mountain range between the Appalachian Mountains and the mountains higher than the mountains found in the state first readmitted to Congress with a temperate climate?

<P0-S0> oklahoma has four primary mountain ranges: the ouachita mountains, the arbuckle mountains, the wichita mountains, and the ozark mountains. <P0-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. <P0-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> <P1-S0> In 1864, Andrew Johnson (a War Democrat from Tennessee) was elected Vice President under Abraham Lincoln. <P1-S1> He became President after Lincoln's assassination in 1865. <P1-S2> Under Johnson's lenient re-admission policy, Tennessee was the first of the seceding states to have its elected members readmitted to the U.S. Congress, on July 24, 1866. <P1-S3> Because Tennessee had ratified the Fourteenth Amendment, it was the only one of the formerly secessionist states that did not have a military governor during the Reconstruction period. <SEP> <P2-S0> 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. <P2-S1> 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. <P2-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. <P2-S3> The driest months, on average, are August to October. <P2-S4> On average the state receives 50 inches (130 cm) of precipitation annually. <P2-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> <P3-S0> The Great Plains lie west of the Mississippi River and east of the Rocky Mountains. <P3-S1> A large portion of the country's agricultural products are grown in the Great Plains. <P3-S2> 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. <P3-S3> Elevation rises gradually from less than a few hundred feet near the Mississippi River to more than a mile high in the High Plains. <P3-S4> 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. <P3-S5> Interior Highlands, the only major mountainous region between the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains. <SEP> <P4-S0> The Appalachian Mountains (French: les Appalaches), often called the Appalachians, are a system of mountains in eastern North America. <P4-S1> The Appalachians first formed roughly 480 million years ago during the Ordovician Period. <P4-S2> They once reached elevations similar to those of the Alps and the Rocky Mountains before experiencing natural erosion. <P4-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. <SEP> <P5-S0> the climate of the united states varies due to differences in latitude, and a range of geographic features, including mountains and deserts. <P5-S1> west of the 100th meridian, much of the us is semi-arid to desert in the far southwestern us, and mediterranean along the california coast. <P5-S2> east of the 100th meridian, the climate is humid continental in the northern areas east through new england, to humid subtropical in the gulf and south atlantic regions. <P5-S3> southern florida is tropical, as is hawaii and the us virgin islands. <P5-S4> higher - elevation areas of the rocky mountains, the wasatch, sierra nevada, and cascade range are alpine. <P5-S5> the west coast areas in coastal oregon and washington are oceanic climate. <P5-S6> the state of alaska, on the northwestern corner of the north american continent, is largely subarctic climate, but with a subpolar oceanic climate in the southeast (alaska panhandle), southwestern peninsula and aleutian islands.
