Question

How can u justify that Himalayas are young fold mountains?

Answer 1

Dear user,, The Himalayas are known as the young fold mountains because they have been formed only few million years ago.They were formed because of the folding of the earth's crust dueto tectonic activity (fold mountains are formed when two tectonic plates collide with one another).

Answer 2

The Himalayas are called as the young fold mountains due to the very fact that these mountains were created by the lift due to the subduction of the Indian plate under the Eurasian continental plate around 40 - 50 million years ago.
