Explanation:

Correct: Most young mountain ranges are indeed associated with either the Pacific Ring of Fire or the Alpide Belt. These areas are tectonically active, leading to the formation of mountain ranges.

Incorrect: While the Andes is one of the longest mountain ranges in the world and extends along the western coast of South America, it is not the longest. The longest mountain range is the Mid-Oceanic Ridge, an underwater mountain range.
