I would say that the Rocky Mts were the youngest of all these mountain ranges as they were created between 80-55 million years ago during the Laramide Orogeny and also they are generally much taller than the other mountain ranges mentioned here which is a characteristic of young mountain ranges and their features are sharper as they haven't been eroded the way most of these others have so have been subject to erosion for less time than the others.

1) What is meant by the "partition" of India in 1947?
kogti [31]
The partition of India is the split of India and the creation of Pakistan, splitting the border, which was made by Radcliffe Line, who disregarded any ethnic or religious differences along the border. This occurred right before the British stepped out of control of India. It occurred because of religious conflict between Hindus and Muslims in India, because of the tension created by the Muslim Mughal Empire. Gandhi opposed the partition.
