What type of mountain of age has steep sides with sharp jagged peaks and narrow valleys?

A mountain with steep sides, sharp jagged peaks, and narrow valleys is typically classified as a "fold mountain." These mountains form as a result of tectonic activity when two tectonic plates collide, leading to the folding and uplifting of rocks. The iconic Himalayas are an example of fold mountains.


Can a valley be broad or narrow?

Yes, a valley can be both broad and narrow. A broad valley typically has wide expanses of flat land between the surrounding mountains or hills, while a narrow valley is characterized by steep-sloped sides that are closer together. The width of a valley can vary depending on factors such as the geology, tectonic activity, and erosion processes that shaped it.


What are the characteristics between a wide stream valleyand a narrow stream valley?

A wide stream valley has gently sloping sides and a broad, flat floor due to erosion over time by a large volume of water. In contrast, a narrow stream valley has steep, V-shaped sides and a narrow floor formed by fast-flowing water cutting through the landscape.


Why is it named table mountain?

It was named Table Mountain by Antonio Sladanha in 1503 because it's flat top resembles that of a table. Folk tales have it that when it is misty on the mountain it is as if the giants have laid a table cloth on their table.. :)


Where does fold mountain occur?

Fold mountains typically form at convergent plate boundaries, where tectonic forces cause the Earth's crust to fold and uplift. Examples of fold mountain ranges include the Himalayas, Andes, Alps, and Rockies.
