Correct Answer - Option 1 : Fold Mountain

The correct answer is option 1, i.e. Fold Mountain.

  • Fold mountains are the most common type of mountain in the world.
  • The rugged, soaring heights of the Himalayas, Andes, and Alps are all active fold mountains. 
  • Earth's hard outer layer is called the crust. It is made up of large interlocking slabs called tectonic plates.
  • Fold mountains are created where two or more of Earth's tectonic plates are pushed together.
  • At these boundaries, rocks and debris are warped and folded into hills, mountains, and entire mountain ranges. 
  • The Himalayas stretch through the borders of China, Bhutan, Nepal, India, and Pakistan.
