Cordilleras
Mountain ranges in parallel chains are called "cordilleras."
Mountain ranges refer to a series of mountains aligned in a particular direction, usually forming a continuous line or sequence. Mountain chains, on the other hand, can be multiple ranges running parallel to each other or interconnected in a complex network. Essentially, mountain ranges are a subset of mountain chains.
Parallel mountain ranges are called "ranges" or "ridges." Examples include the Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Mountains in North America.
A region of parallel mountain chains is known as a mountain range or a mountain belt. Examples include the Rocky Mountains in North America, the Andes in South America, and the Himalayas in Asia. These mountain ranges are formed by tectonic plate movements and are characterized by a series of parallel peaks and ridges.
A group of mountain ranges side by side is called a mountain range system or a mountain chain. This occurs when multiple mountain ranges run parallel to each other in close proximity.
Mountain formations can be called ranges, peaks, summits, or mountain chains. They can also be referred to by specific geological terms like volcanoes, plateaus, or mountain belts.

Cordillera?
Parallel mountain ranges are called Cordilleras. A perfect example of these would be the Andes Mountains located in South America.

Such mountains are called ridges
Where East meets West at the Ural Mountains.
The Himalayas have parallel ranges of mountains.
They are mountain ranges, or mountain chains, the Himalayan Mountain Range being one example.
