What is one way to tell young mountains from old mountains?
In general, the younger the mountain chain, the taller it is. Plate tectonics builds mountains by thrusting the crust upward, while erosion wears them back down over millenia. So the Himalayas are a new (and in fact, still growing) mountain chain, while the Appalachians are one of the oldest chains still identifiable as mountains.
