    The Himalayan mountains began forming in the late Cretaceous-Tertiary period and continue to increase in elevation even today. That makes them among the youngest mountain chains on earth. They are fold mountains because of the compressive forces involved in the collision of the 2 continental plates involved, the Asian and the Indian/Australian.
