Young mountains, created several dozen million years ago, have steep slopes and high-pointed peaks. The youngest mountains, also the highest in the world, are within the Himalayas massif in Asia.

Old mountains, in contrast, have rounded peaks and slopes made gentler by hundreds of millions of years of erosion.

Answer:

All continents have mountains. Generally, we distinguish two types of mountains, according to their age. Young mountains, created several dozen million years ago, have steep slopes and high-pointed peaks. Old mountains, in contrast, have rounded peaks and slopes made gentler by hundreds of millions of years of erosion.

Explanation:

. 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. Old fold mountains are usually lower elevation and can appear more like rolling hills such as the Appalachians.
