The Himalayan mountains are older than the Appalachian mountains.
Yes, the Himalayas are much younger than Pangaea. The Himalayas started forming around 50 million years ago when the Indian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate, while Pangaea existed around 335 million years ago before it started splitting apart.
The Appalachians are younger than Pangaea because they were formed during the process in which North America removed itself from Pangaea and into the west.
The Alps are younger than Pangaea. The formation of the Alps began around 30 million years ago during the Tertiary period, while Pangaea existed around 335 to 175 million years ago during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras.
Not at all. The super-continent of Pangea began breaking up about 200 million years ago, and the Himalayas didn't begin forming til around 70 million years ago.
They are about the same age, actually. The Appalachians were formed as a result of the continental collisions that formed Pangaea.
The Alps mountains are younger than Pangaea. The Alps began forming around 30 million years ago during the Oligocene period, while Pangaea existed around 335 to 175 million years ago during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras.
Quite a bit younger. The Rockies are around 80 million years old; Pangaea formed about 300 million years ago and started to break up around 170 million years ago.
No. They are younger. The earliest stages of the formation of the Alps began in the late Cretaceous, more than 100 million years after Pangaea broke up.
Quite a bit younger. The Rockies are around 80 million years old; Pangaea formed about 300 million years ago and started to break up around 170 million years ago.
Nope
A. Pangaea: Supercontinent B. Panthalassa: Super ocean C. Himalayas: Caused by continents colliding D. Magma: Generated in subduction zones
Yes, the Rocky Mountains range is older than Pangaea. The formation of the Rockies began around 80 million years ago during the Laramide orogeny, while Pangaea existed around 335-175 million years ago before it started breaking apart.
