Answer:there are two types of fold mountains. old fold mountains and young fold mountains.

Explanation:old fold mountains are those which have been formed millions and millions year ago and have been eroded by the agents of erosion in a very large scale.they have gentle slops and rounded peaks and are generally shorter in height than the new fold mountains.

eg.- aravallis

new fold mountains are those which are of a relatively recant origin and have not undergone the large -scale effects of erosion. the r the tallest mountains and have steep slops and sharp or pointed peaks.
