A young mountain has steep sides. It also has sharp jagged peaks and narrow valleys. Older mountains are more rounded.
Mountain ranges which have only recently been subject to erosion - therefore young mountain ranges.

young
they are like cube mountains
The Appalachians are much older and have therefore been exposed to much more weathering and erosion.

Continental glaciers cover mountain tops and grinds down the peaks and leaves them polished and rounded. Valley glaciers sharpen mountain peaks.

They are mountains without a tip. It is rounded at the top. Rounded mountains are almost always old mountains.As mountains gets older, their peaks get flatter. They are still considered mountains as they pass mountain elevation requirements.There valleys are very wide too. The opposite is a young mountain with shark peaks, narrow valleys, and much taller. For ex., Earth's tallest mountain, Mt.Everest, is a very young mountain.

Jagged mountains peaks become more rounded by the process of weathering. This occurs as wind and rain slowly eat away at the mountain, removing tiny bits of the rocks at a time until the mountains look more rounded than jagged.
The jagged mountain peaks towered above us, casting long shadows over the valley below.
These mountains formed when erosion carved out peaks and valleys from a plateau..
Through harsh winds constantly battering the mountain tops possibly earthquakes which could end up grinding two mountains together,the friction of which could cause the peaks to round off.
