The maximum height of the largest peaks in the Himalayan mountain range exceeds 8000 meters, while the highest mountain peaks of the rocky mountain are slightly above 4000 meters. what explains the difference between the maximum heights for the two mountain ranges? select all that apply. a) the rocky mountains are older and have been subjected to greater weathering erosion

b) the rocky mountains have formed more recently and have been subjected to less geologic deposition

c) the Himalayan mountains have formed long ago and have been subjected to more sedimentary deposition

d) the Himalayan mountains have more recently formed from geologic uplift as two continental plates collided

e) both mountain ranges were formed at the same time, but increased volcanic activity near the rocky mountains decreased their maximum elevation
