What are the differences between old and new mountains?

Old mountains are characterized by their rounded peaks and lower elevations due to erosion processes over millions of years. They tend to have a more subdued appearance compared to new mountains, which have sharp, rugged peaks and higher elevations resulting from tectonic forces that are still actively shaping the landscape. Additionally, old mountains often have gentler slopes and more developed ecosystems, while new mountains may have more unstable geological features and younger, less diverse habitats.


What is one way to tell young mountains from old mountains?

In general, the younger the mountain chain, the taller it is. Plate tectonics builds mountains by thrusting the crust upward, while erosion wears them back down over millenia. So the Himalayas are a new (and in fact, still growing) mountain chain, while the Appalachians are one of the oldest chains still identifiable as mountains.
