hey mate ^_^

Fold mountains are created when two tectonic plates collide and the edges of these plates "fold" due to the tremendous push force between them. They are very common and are usually made up of sedimentary rocks. ... Young-fold mountains are between 10 and 25 million years old, e.g. Rocky Mountains, Himalayans.

Hi Mate,

Fold mountains form along both destructive and collision plate boundaries.

They form when two plates with landmasses on them move towards each other.

The plates push layers of accumulated sediment in the sea into folds between them.

This becomes a fold mountain range.

Most fold mountains continue to grow as the plates constantly move.

Examples: the Himalayas (Asia), Rockies (USA), Andes (South America), Alps (Europe)

Hope it helps you
