folded mountains
The Appalachians are older than the Alps. The Appalachians were created many eras ago when North America crashed into Europe. Then the Appalachians were split apart when the Atlantic Ocean opened up. The Mid Atlantic ridge and other phenomena split them into The Mountains of Norway and Sweden, The Highlands of Scotland, The Appalachians of North America, and the Ouchita Mountains of Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. The Alps were pushed up when Italy moved up and Crashed into Europe. That happened only a few Million years ago.
The five mountain ranges are the Alps, Rocky's, Andes, Himalayas, and Urals.
The Appalachians are the oldest mountain range in the world. North America has both the newest mountain range (the Rockies) and the oldest. The Alps are somewhere in between. Every other mountain range you can name is younger than the Appalachians.

Examples of collision mountain ranges include the Himalayas (formed by the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate), the Alps (formed by the collision of the African Plate with the Eurasian Plate), and the Andes (formed by the collision of the South American Plate with the Nazca Plate).
Major mountain ranges in Eastern Europe include the Caucuses, the Urals, and the Transylvanian Alps.
