Detailed Solution

Yes, the above statement is correct. The young, folded mountains bind India in the northwest. They are not only in the northwest but also in the north and the northeast region. These young fold mountains are the Himalayas, the highest range of the fold mountains. They extend from the east of India, from the borders of Myanmar to the point where the Indus river divides it from the Hindukush and Karakoram ranges. The Himalayan range covers a distance of 2500 kilometres and is the sixth-longest range in the world. The Himalayan range is divided into three sections, from north to south, based on height: the Himadri (the inner Himalayas), the Himachal (the lesser Himalayas), and the Shiwaliks (the outer Himalayas).
