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.

This Man From Patna Carves Out IAS-IPS Officers For Only Rs 11 Gurudakshina

This Man From Patna Carves Out IAS-IPS Officers For Only Rs 11 Gurudakshina

Good teachers are the reason why ordinary students dream to do extraordinary things, like how Acharya Chanakya taught an ordinary boy from Bihar and created the great emperor Chandragupta Maurya out of him. Here’s another man from the same land who is carving out civil servants in his Gurukul against gurudakshina of Rs 11, 21 or 51.

Dedicating his life towards teaching, Rahman (49) has founded Adamya Aditi Gurukul in Patna and has given dozens of administrative and police officers to the country. Unlike the institutes that charge lakhs of rupees as fee, Rahman asks for a meagre gurudakshina. Over the years, many students taught in the Gurukul have successfully passed the top competitive examinations of the country and have become doctors, engineers and administrative officers against a gratitude amount.

Armed with triple Master of Arts degrees, Rahman founded Adamya Aditi Gurukul in January 1994 and his students made history in the very first year. That year the state government of Bihar required to appoint 4,000 police inspectors and 1,100 students from the gurukul made the cut and were appointed for the service.

"Education is the only way through which Indians will be aware about their rights and be connected to the main stream of the society "– Rahman

Not just Bihar, but aspirants from Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Madhya Pradesh come to the gurukul to seek Rahman’s guidance. There is not even one competitive examination in the country where the students of Adamya Aditi Gurukul haven’t left their mark.

Risen From The Dust

Rahman was born into a poverty-stricken family and is filled with strong desire to uplift students who come from a weak financial background. He says poverty is not a state of helplessness instead it is a symbol of success that will be. With dedication, hard work, and passion everything can be achieved, he says.

Are you wondering how Rahman manages his operations on such meager amounts?

Well, he has created several success stories in the gurukul and his ex-students donate money boosting the next batches.
