The Rocky Mountains were formed between 80 and 35 million years ago by what is called the Laramide orogeny. Basically the oceanic crust got pushed under the continâ¦ental crust and large landforms were crated. Over millions of years, erosion sculpted the mountains into what we see today.
The Rocky Mountains are a vast mountain system in Western North America, extending north-south from Canada to New Mexico, a distance of about 3,000 miles (4800 km). The highest peak is Mount Elbert, in Colorado, which is 14,440 feet (4401 m) above sea level.
