Consider the following statements:
1. Rift valley are formed due to folding of plates.
2. Block mountains are formed due to faulting of earth crust.
3. Andes, Rocky mountains and Himalayas are fold mountains and they also represent relatively younger formation.

The correct option is C 2 and 3 only
Rift valley, Graben, Horst and Block mountains are landforms associated with faulting.
Fold mountains- farmed due to large scale movement of earth crust. They are the result of folding which occurs along the zone of weakness. Due to formation of anticline and syncline. Folding results into formation of extensive and highest mountains Himalayas represent relatively younger formation. These are also called as mountains of elevation due to their great heights.
