George Washington was a leader of the Continental Army in the American Revolution, and was the first to become U.S. president.
The Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau to the north have risen very rapidly. In just 50 million years, peaks such as Mt. Everest have risen to heights of more than 9 km. The impinging of the two landmasses has yet to end. The Himalayas continue to rise more than 1 cm a year -- a growth rate of 10 km in a million years!
Himalayas are the youngest of all the fold mountains.They are still growing as the collision of tectonic plates has not stopped. You can easily distinguish between other types of mountains and the Fold Mountains as these mountains display folded elevations on large scale. The lateral compressions and the simultaneously uplifted stratified and sedimentary rocks give these mountains a crumpled like look resembling a carpet when it is pushed.
