Why himalaya mountains are called young mountains?
  • 1 answers

Meghna Thapar 5 years, 2 months ago

Young fold mountains are also mountains that are less than 100 million years old. Where the old fold mountains are more than 500 million years old young fold mountains are comparably younger in age. However, young fold mountains also have ridges, volcanoes, valleys, and major-fault- block ranges. The Himalayas are known as the young fold mountains because they have been formed only few million years ago. They were formed because of the folding of the earth's crust due to tectonic activity (fold mountains are formed when two tectonic plates collide with one another).
