The most basic difference is the age of the mountains. A young fold mountain range is generally between 10 and 25 million years old while an old fold mountain range can be over 200 million years old. All fold mountains are formed by the folding of earth's crust as tectonic plates shift over time.

Young fold mountains Old fold mountainsThey are of recent origin. They have been formed long ago.They are higher than the old fold mountains. They are lower than the young fold mountains.Most of the young fold mountains have pointed peaks. These mountains generally do not have pointed peaks due to erosional activities of exogenic forces. They have rounded peaks.These have steeper slopes and deeper valleys. Due to the erosional activities of the exogenic forces, these mountains have gentle slopes.The Himalayas, the Andes and the Rockies mountains are some examples of young fold mountains. The Aravali Range, the Appalachian and the Ural Mountains are some examples of old fold mountains.
