Are the Himalayas getting bigger

Answer 1

The Himalayas are still growing because the Indo-Australian plate is still colliding with the Eurasian plate (Convergent plate boundaries), which makes it grow higher.
India is a sub-continent of Asia. It pushes against Asia causing an up lift in the Himalayas.

Answer 2

The Himalayas grow because of the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate pushing against each other and forcing the land up- that is how the Himalayas were formed and is why they are still growing. They are Fold Mountains and are created by a Collision plate margin. They grow at about 1 inch per year.

Answer 3

because of the tectonic plates. the oceanic crust in front of it was slowly sub-ducted under the eurasian plate. but when 2 continents collided, subduction stopped because India could not sink into the mantle. instead, it pushed crust upward & downward. the Himalayas were one of the results.

Answer 4

Yes, they are. The Himalayas are getting taller (about 5mm per year) and also larger. This is because the Indo-Australian Plate converges with the Eurasian Plate actively.

Answer 5

India is crashing into Asia making the Himalyas shift and grow about the length of your fingernail each year.

Answer 6

They are still growing because of Continental Drift. The plates underneath the mountains are colliding and are pushing the mountain upward.

Answer 7

the preasure of the air pushes down on the rocks, while gravity pulles the surounding land around the mountains down. this gives the elusion that the Mountains are rising.

Answer 8

because of two tectonic plates that move,the euroasian plate and the autroindian plate
