Question

Differentiate young and fold mountains

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

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. Newer ranges such as the Himalayas and Rockies are more jagged and are generally taller because they have experienced little erosion in their short lives. Old fold mountains are usually lower elevation and can appear more like rolling hills such as the Appalachians.
