Question

Youngest to oldest mountain ranges in india

Answer 1

incredible country called BHARAT or India has the youngest and the oldest mountains in the world.

The magnanimous Himalayas still growing and the mighty Aravalli Range standing witness to the tides of time.

YOUNGEST : (~500 million years)

India is herself a part of the super-continent Gondwanaland together with modern Africa, Australia, Antarctica, and South America

As you can see, the collision with the Eurasian Plate along the boundary between India and Nepal formed the orogenic belt that created :

The Tibetan Plateau and
The Himalaya Mountains,
as sediment bunched up like earth before a plow.


This tectonic process and followed subduction and warp-up eventually led to the formation of Young-fold mountains which are still rising.


OLDEST: (~ 4 billion years)

The Aravalli range was formed in the Precambrian period caused by the tectonic movements and it stopped growing higher due to the cessation of upward thrust.The tectonic evolution of the Aravalli-Delhi orogenic belt can be divided into four phases :

Bhilwara Gneissic Complex (~ 2,500 Ma)
Aravalli Orogeny (~ 1,800 Ma)
Delhi Orogeny (~ 1,100 Ma)
Post-orogenic evolution (~ 850 – 750 Ma)
Two phases of rifting, sedimentation, collision and suturing were documented in the tectonic evolution of the Aravalli-Delhi orogenic belt.

During Proterozoic Eon, N-S convergence between the Bundelkhand and Bhandara cratons at the Satpura Mobile Belt, and E-W convergence between the Bundelkhand and Marwar cratons at the Aravalli-Delhi orogenic belt have synchronously occurred in India.[1] This resulted in an overall resultant force of NE-SW convergence of the Aravalli-Delhi orogenic belt, and also led to the arcuate shape of its convergent zone

Answer 2

Youngest to oldest mountain ranges in india

Explanation:

• The Himalayas is the youngest and the Aravalli is the oldest mountain system of India and the youngest dates back to 500 million years old and they were formed by the uplift of the mountain ranges and are still rising as per the collision of the Eurasian and the Tibetan plateau.  

• The oldest is Aravallis range and is formed in 4 billion years and is formed by the Precambrian period and is caused by the movement of the tectonic plates and due to the movements of the upward thrust and rifting, sedimentation, collision and suturing and it runs across the Rajasthan to the Haryana and its most popular range is called as the Mewar Himalayas.

• The Himalayas width varies for the 350 km in the west and to 10 km in the east. And is spread across the five river systems and is loosely associated with the karaktokarm and other ranges.
