Plate tectonics explains how the collision of landmasses change landscapes. India crashing into Asia creates the Alps and the high plateau of Tibet and its rippling folds created the South Downs in the UK. A map will show the similarity of shape between The America's and Africa's coast shape. Your mountains are probably the result of an uplift in the mid Atlantic or a sincline in the Pacific. It has been suggested that a massive volcanic eruption in the US created a huge tsunami that drowned the dinosaurs and scoured the country. So your country has been through lots of change.
Have fun

Beneath Detroit is one of the largest salt mines in the U.S., 1200 feet below street level, and covering 1500 acres. However availability from other sources made the mines unprofitable. Estimates are that the inland sea which covered this area 400 million years ago, evaporated, leaving the huge salt layer. Over time, and a number of ice ages, the salt was covered.

Amazing at the diversity of North America's geology!
