Why Are Himalayas Called As Young Fold Mountains

Why Are Himalayas Called As Young Fold Mountains

The Himalayas are geographically known as young fold mountains covering the northern border of India. The Himalayan range is the most noteworthy and the toughest mountain range on the world.

The Himalayan mountains began forming in the late Cretaceous-Tertiary Period 70million years ago and continue to increase in elevation even today. That makes them among the youngest of mountain chains on the earth. They are fold mountains because of the compressive forces involved in the collision of the two continental plates involved, the Asian and the Indian/Australian.

The Appalachian are “old fold mountains” having been formed hundreds of 300 millions of years ago. And, although they reached a height taller than Mt. Everest in the Himalayan mountains, the Appalachian mountains have eroded so that they are less than 10,000 feet tall today.

The Himalayan mountain are formed from three parallel ranges of mountains:

The Himadri

The Himachal

The Shiwaliks

The Himadri likewise called the Great or Inner Himalayas, is the northern most range of the Himalayas. This range is in a solitary, unbroken line and has the highest peaks like Mount Everest and Mount Godwin Austin. The Gangotri and the Siachen, begin from this range. The Zoji La pass is situated in the Great Himalayan range and serves as the only link amongst Ladakh and Kashmir.

Himachal, the next range is found south of the Greater Himalayas also called as lesser Himalayas. The height of mountains in this range is in the vicinity of 3700 and 4500 meters. The Pir Panjal is the longest range in the Lesser Himalayas. The Dhaula Dhar and the Mahabharat are other ranges well known for their beauty.

The range between the Indus and the Sutlej is generally known as the Punjab Himalaya. Nanga Parbat is the highest peak in Punjab Himalaya.

The Kumaon Himalayas is situated between the Sutlej and the Kali waterways. Nanda Devi is the highest peak in this region. The range that lies between the Kali and the Tista rivers is known as the Nepal Himalayas. The Assam Himalayas allude to the district between the Tista and the Dihang rivers.

The division of the Himalayas on the east is known as the Purvanchal or the Eastern Hills and Mountains. The Brahamputra forms the eastern most limit of the Purvanchal district. The Purvanchal range is comprised of the Patkai hills, the Naga hills, the Manipur hills and the Mizo hills.
