Answer 2

Both A and R are and R is the correct explanation of A

• The sliding down of a slope of a mass of rock, rubble, or earth is known as a landslide. Landslides are a sort of "mass wasting," which refers to any downward movement of soil or rock caused by gravity alone. The five slope-moving processes known as "landslides" are falls, topples, slides, spreads, and flows.
• The youngest and highest range of fold mountains in the world is the Himalayas, whose name literally translates as "abode of snow." It extends in India's east from Myanmar's borders to where the Indus separates it from the Hindukush and Karakoram ranges, a distance of around 2500 km.
• Since the Himalayas were just built a few million years ago, they are often referred to as the young fold mountains.
• Because they were created only a few million years ago by the collision of the Indo-Australian and Eurasian plates as a result of continental drift, the Himalayas in India symbolise the young fold mountains. Young fold mountains range in age from 10 to 25 million years.
