What is the age of mount matterhorn?
The Matterhorn is a mountain of the Alps, straddling the main watershed and border between Switzerland and Italy. It is a large, near-symmetric pyramidal peak in the extended Monte Rosa area of the Pennine Alps, whose summit is 4,478 metres (14,692 ft) high, making it one of the highest summits in the Alps and Europe.
The Matterhorn is a relatively young mountain, formed by the collision of the African and Eurasian plates about 30 million years ago. The mountain was formed by the uplift of the Earth's crust and the subsequent erosion of the surrounding rocks. The Matterhorn is composed of a variety of rocks, including gneiss, granite, and micaschist.
