Answer:

The Himalayas are an example of (young) fold mountains.

Step-by-step explanation:

Young fold mountains (10 to 25 million years of age).

The Himalayas are known as the young fold mountains because they have been formed only a few million years ago. They were formed because of the folding of the earth's crust due to tectonic activity (fold mountains are formed when two tectonic plates collide with one another).
