young fold mountains are like Himalayas, the Alps and man other.
the western cordilleras are young fold mountains, while the appalachians are old fold mountains.
One of the features of young fold mountains is that these are formed at destructive collision of tectonic plate boundaries. The Earth's crust are pushed to the surface therefore forming a series of fold mountains.
Old fold mountains are mountains that were formed millions of years ago through the process of folding and faulting of the Earth's crust. These mountains have undergone significant erosion and are typically characterized by rounded peaks and deep valleys. Young fold mountains, on the other hand, are mountains that are still actively being formed through tectonic processes, such as the collision of tectonic plates. These mountains tend to have sharp, rugged peaks and steep slopes.
Andes are called young fold mountains because they are young
because this are the young mountains that recently formed in the earth.
Yes, young fold mountains typically have rugged relief features such as steep slopes, deep valleys, and sharp ridges. These features are a result of the tectonic forces that created the mountains and the erosion processes that shape the landscape over time.
In India is Himalyas..
the andes , the himalayas & the rockies
The appalachain mountains are fold mountains
the mountains in northern Ethiopia's fold mountains
The fold mountains that formed less than about 25 million years back are considered young . These regions may be prone to Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions because the crust of the Earth is unstable
The Formation of the HimalayasThe Himalayas are known to be youngfold mountains. Young, because these have been formed relatively recently in the earth's history, compared to older mountain ranges like the Aravallis in India, and the Appalachian in the USA. They are known as fold mountains because the mountains extend for 2500 km in length in a series of parallel ridges or folds.
