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.

  • The Glaciers retreat also leads to the rise of the large sets of the sediments that are being deposited when the terminal extends as far down valley as it previously did. The Glaciers retreat as the ice melts more quickly than snowfall can accumulate and thus form the new glacial ice.
