The Himalayas represent youthful topography because it is a relatively recent geological formation. The Himalayas formed about 40 to 50 million years ago when the Indian tectonic plate crashed into the Eurasian plate. In contrast, some other topographical features of India are much older.

Answer:
Himalayas are called young fold mountains because they began forming in the late Cretaceous - Tertiary period and continue to increase in elevation even today. They are called fold mountains due to the compressive forces involved in the collision of the two continental plates - the Asian and the Indian / Australian.
