Himalayas are considered to be
(A) Very young
(C) Middle aged
(B) Very old
(D) The oldest
Answers
Answer:
Option (A) Very Young
Explanation:
Himalayan range is also called as the Young fold mountains.
The different peaks and mountains in the Himalayan range are formed 50 million years ago, which is less time when compared to other mountain ranges such as Aravalli range which was formed in the pre-cambrian era.
They are considered to be young because they are still in the process of formation of the mountains.
They are called as fold mountains because they formed due to collision of the tectonic plates such as the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
Answer:
Explanation:
The Himalayan Range separates the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan range, and have been protecting the Indian province from unfavorable conditions from a long time now.
Therefore, in my opinion, the correct answer here would be 'middle aged' which is the option (C).
The other options which are very young, ancient and the oldest are not valid as the Himalayan mountains are middle-aged whereas the most past mountain range is the Aravali Range in India.
