Young Mountain ranges.

 Alps stem, Himalayas, Andes  and Rockies Mountain ranges are young mountain ranges.
These Mountain  belts were formed some twenty five to thirty five million years ago. In other words these ranges of the mountains belongs to Tertiary or Alpine period.

Alps stem and Himalayas Belt.

 tectonic plates are Moving on the asthenosphere and these plates  converge and diverge in their respective region. thus, we see that the Himalayan mountains are elevating because these tectonic plates collide and give upthrust to these rocks.The collision of these plates folds the converging rocks.
. These Mountains are also referred as Young Mountains and folded mountains .

I enjoy young mountain ranges very much. As a general rule they are easier to eat and the cooking time is much reduced when compared with older and ancient mountain ranges.
