Answers
Answer:
(i) The Himalayas, geologically young and structurally fold mountains, stretch over the northern borders of India. (ii) These mountain ranges run in a west-east direction from the Indus to the Brahmaputra. (iii) The Himalayas represent the loftiest and one of the most rugged mountain barriers of the world.
Explanation:
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 due to tectonic activity (fold mountains are formed when two tectonic plates collide with one another).
