Which mountain range is considered India’s young fold mountain range?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Himalayas

The Himalayas are considered India’s young fold mountain range. They formed when the Indian tectonic plate moved northward and collided with the Eurasian plate. The intense pressure compressed, folded, and uplifted layers of sedimentary rock, creating high and rugged mountains. They are called young because, compared with ancient ranges, they have undergone less geological erosion and their uplift is still related to active plate movements. Therefore, option A, the Himalayas, is correct. The Aravalli Range is much older and has been heavily worn down. Satpura and Vindhya are important central Indian ranges, but they are not classified as India’s young fold mountains.
