Question

Name the young fold Mountains in Africa,in Asia,in Europe and in North America respectively..
Describe the formation of fold mountains according to the convectional current theory.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Young fold mountains in Africa:

Atlas Mountains

Young fold mountains in Asia:

Mount Everest

Young fold mountains in North America:

The Appalachian Mountains

Formation of fold mountains according to the convectional current theory:

During the earth's formation surface rocks cooled faster and wrinkled to form Fold Mountains.

1. Horizontal convectional currents in the mantle exerted frictional pull on crustal rocks.
2. Continental crusts were pulled towards each other.
3. Sediments between them were squeezed into folds.
