Answer 2

Answer:

The young fold mountains by which India is bounded  in the northwest, north and northeast is Himalaya.

Explanation:

• The Himalayas are  the young fold mountains of India because they have been formed only few million years ago.
• The Himalayan mountains were formed because of the folding of the earth's crust due to tectonic activity.

• Fold mountains are those mountains created where two or more of Earth's tectonic plates are pushed together. Because of  these colliding, compressing boundaries, rocks and debris are warped and folded into rocky outcrops, hills, mountains, or an entire mountain ranges. The process through which fold mountains are created, is called orogeny.
• The Himalayas are geologically young fold mountains covering the Northern and North-east borders of India.
• The Himalayan range is the highest and the most rugged mountain  range in the world.
• The Himalayan ranges  consist mostly of uplifted sedimentary and metamorphic rock. They stretch from the Indus river in the North-West side of India  to the Brahmaputra river in the North-East.
