It could have been the Alleghenian or Appalachian Mountain ranges. Based on the amount of sediments from the erosion of the Appalachian Mountains, it is estimated that they were close in height or taller than the Himayan Mountains.
The Himalayas formed when the Indian tectonic plate collided with the Eurasian plate around 50 million years ago. This collision caused the Earth's crust to crumple and uplift, creating the tallest mountain range in the world.
The Himalayas are the youngest Mountain range in the world.
The Appalachian mountain range is believed to be over four million years old and is primarily made up of sedimentary rock. These mountains stretch along the eastern United States.
The Smoky Mountains, which are located in the Appalachian Range
No, the Rocky Mountains are not the oldest mountain range on Earth. The Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States are considered to be much older, with their origins dating back around 480 million years ago compared to the Rocky Mountains which began forming around 50 million years ago.
Everest was formed about 60 million years ago
The Annapurna mountain range is estimated to be around 55 million years old.
About a million years old
The Himalayas formed when the Indian tectonic plate collided with the Eurasian plate around 50 million years ago. This collision caused the Earth's crust to crumple and uplift, creating the tallest mountain range in the world.
The oldest mountain range on Earth is thought to be the Appalachian Mountains. They are said to be nearly 500 million years old.
The Himalayan mountain range of Tibet was formed when the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate collided nearly 50 million years ago. It is the world's current mountain range and includes the world's tallest mountain, Mount Everest.
Appalachian Mountain Range
Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world ever! -------- Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world. But its neither the highest mountain ever (40000+ foot) mountains existed millions years ago in the continent of Pangaea. Nor will it be the highest mountain in a few million years (Nanga Parbat is the 9th highest mountain in the world) is eventually going to outgrow Everet.
Tallest mountain in world? Oh that's Mt Everest which was formed 60 million years ago and named after Sir George Everest! Thanks!
The Appalachian Mountain Range was likely created before the continental separation around 350 million years ago. This mountain range formed during the assembly of the supercontinent Pangaea and has since been eroded down from its original size.
Yes the Great Dividing Range was once the tallest and largest mountain range in the world however, over millions of years has been eroded significantly. We also have the Australian Alps, and the Bouncing Hills
