Which physical part of India is the youngest and highest mountainous region?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Himalayas

Direct answer: Option A, the Himalayas. The Himalayas are India’s youngest major mountain system in geological terms and contain the country’s highest peaks. Step by step: they were formed relatively recently when the Indian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate; compression folded and uplifted sedimentary layers; continuing tectonic activity makes them young, high fold mountains. Option A is correct. Option B, the Deccan Plateau, is an old, stable plateau, not the youngest high mountain region. Option C, the Thar Desert, is a dry sandy region, not a high mountain system. Option D, the Eastern Coastal Plain, is a low-lying coastal plain, not a mountain region. The word “young” here means geologically young, not that the mountains are newly created in human time. Memory cue: Himalaya = young fold mountains, great height, active uplift.
