What are the mountain ranges that were created when the Indian plate collided with the Asian plate?
A set of mountains that are still forming as a result of the compaction of two tectonic plates are the Himalayas. 40 or 50 million years ago, the subcontinent of India collided with Eurasia and caused so much pressure that the only way to relieve it was to push up and that was the start of the Himalayan range.
What is the result when two continental plates converge?
they over lap and cause mountains and hills Folded mountains are produced
What mountain range was formed as a result of 2 continents colliding?
When oceanic plates collide with continental plates, The oceanic plate goes under the Continental plate, creating friction deep in the earth, where the plates are rubbing against each other, creating magma, which rises to the surface and creates volcanic mountain ranges. The Andes mountain range is an example. I don't know if this will help you at all.
What is the youngest mountain range in north America?
The Appalachians are the youngest mountain range, but the youngest mountain i do not know.Correction: The Appalachians are among the oldest mountains in North America. The northern end of the Appalachians were part of the Atlas mountains of northern Africa before the breakup of Pangaea.Volcan Navidad (Christmas Volcano) first erupted on the side of Lonquimay Volcano in Chile on December 25, 1988.
Why fold mountains are formed along destructive plate margins?
Both fold mountains and ocean trenches result from plates moving together.If both landforms occur in the same area, they are found in association with subduction on a destructive plate boundary(e.g: The Andes Mountains, Western coast of South America).The Andes formed from the Nazca plate subducting under the South American plate. The continental plate crumples and folds. The result is a fold mountain range. The Andes is formed.If fold mountains occur by themselves, they are in areas where collision is taking place on a collisional plate boundary(e.g: The Himalayas).The Himalayas formed from two continental plates which collided into one another- The Indo-Australian plate collided into the Eurasian plate. They crumple and fold. The result is a fold mountain range. The Himalayas is formed.Either way, the sequence relating to their formation is similar.Hope this helped :)

Where what is the worlds tallest mountain range and how did it form?
It's the Himalayas - although "mountain" questions are more complicated than might be thought as there are underwater mountains. The Himalayas, in brief, are the result of the Indian plate pushing into the Asian plate forcing up the Himalayas.

The mountain range extending along the northern frontier of India was formed as the result of a collision of the Indian subcontinent and what other continent?
The Himalayas.
Detail about how Himalayas were formed?
Their formation is a result of a continental collision along the convergent boundary between the Indo-Australian plate and the Eurasian plate. This is referred to as a fold mountain.
What created the Himalayan mountain range?
It is caused by the Techtonic plate on which India sits colliding with the techtonic plate to its north. This process is still going on and the Himalayas are still increasing in height as a result of it.
Where are Himalayas mountains?
I'm pretty sure they are in Tibet.along the northern frontiers of Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan, and Burma. They were formed geologically as a result of the collision of the Indian subcontinent with Asia.Asia.They are also a large mountain range that includes the highest peak on Earth, Mt. Everest.I believe you are looking for the Himalayas, a mountain range including mount everest that separate India and Pakistan from China
