The Appalachian Mountains are older than trees, dinosaurs, the Atlantic Ocean, and Pangea

Life is old there, older than the trees

Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze

There are older mountain ranges on earth than the Appalachians. The oldest on earth are likely the Barberton Mountains coming in at a whopping 3.4 billion years old.
