The Alps mountains are relatively young in geological terms, with formation beginning around 30-40 million years ago. The rounded appearance of the mountains suggests they have not been subject to extensive erosion and are therefore considered young mountains.
it tell u about mountains and how people study it
The Appalachian Mountains in North America and the Alps in Europe are examples of mountain ranges caused by folding of the Earth's crust through tectonic processes.
Well, honey, the Alps are both constructive and destructive mountains. They were formed through tectonic plate movements, which is constructive, but erosion and weathering are constantly breaking them down, which is destructive. So, they're playing both sides of the mountain game, just like a good old-fashioned love-hate relationship.
Absolute- Actual Age of a rock Relative- The age of something compared to other things Relative age does not tell how old something is but tells us in what order events have happened relative- the age of a rock or fossil compared to the surrounding rocks and fossil
These long narrow glaciers are called valley glaciers. They form when snow accumulates in a valley and slowly turns into ice, flowing downhill under the force of gravity. Valley glaciers are often found between mountains in regions like the Alps and the Andes.
Same age as the Alps.
