Much lower Andes mountains?
The Andes is the longest continuous mountain range on Earth.
Yosemite goes from about 3000 feet to 13,000 feet.
The AVERAGE elevation in the Andes is 13,000 feet.
Yosemite got to its current condition through erosion. That’s the eventual fate of all mountain ranges. Same thing for the Rockies. The Appalachian were once a massive range as high in some estimates as the Himalayas are now.
