Yes, because the mountains are still being developed as the Indian Plate is colliding with the the Eruasian Plate.

Are the Appalachian mountains on an active plate edge?
No. There is no such thing as a passive plate edge. They are near a passive continental margin.
What is a sandy gently sloping underwater plain near a continent?
The continental margin is the submerged outer edge of a continent. It is generally divided into two sections: the continental shelf and the continental slope.
What are Continental margins near the edges of converging plates?
In the main along the mid oceanic ridges and along oceanic trenches.
Where does the oldest rock take place at on the ocean floor in sea-floor spreading?
Far from the mid oceanic ridge, near the continental margin (oldest oceanic rock ages 200 mya)
Is Himalayas near plates?
yup. near austrailian-indian plate and eurasian plate
Why NYC is not considered an active continental margin?
The U.S. east coast is not considered an active continental margin because there are no plate boundaries near it. Off the coast there is merely a slope with a transition from continental to oceanic crust.
Are the Appalachian mountains on an active plate edge?
No. There is no such thing as a passive plate edge. They are near a passive continental margin.
What are the different mountain ranges and their formation?
Himalayas: Continental-continental North American Cordillera: Terrane accretion Aleutian: Oceanic-oceanic Andes: Near an active continental margin _______________________________ Himalayas: Two continents colliding Grand Tetons: Plates spreading Aleutian: Two ocean plates colliding. Andes: Near a subduction zone

What is the erosional part of continental margin?
Erosion happens constantly everywhere, from mountains to seashores. Although I would imagine that the greatest amount of erosion would occur in water, so perhaps anywhere from a near shore enviroment down to the continental slope/abyssal plain.
