when plates collide mountains will form. If you look at a map with the plate boundaries and compare it to a physical map of the world you will see that a lot of mountaind=s form on plate boundries.
The Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates collided with each other to form the Himalayas.
Two plates will shift and push against each other. Often, the two plates will rise forming a mountain.
yes
The highest mountains in the world are the Himalayas, which formed when India collided with Asia beginning around 35 million years ago.
When two continental plates converge, it results in formation of high mountains such as the Himalayan mountain.
An example is when the Indian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate. The softer Indian Plate was forced downwards into the magma. This resulted in the formation of the Himalayan Mountain Range.
The Himalayan mountains are the result of the Indian tectonic plate pressing hard (among the fastest-moving plates in the world) northward into the Eurasian plate. The Himalayan mountains are folded mountains, as opposed to volcanoes; they are the result of the land being lifted up by the pressure between two plates.
The Himalayan mountains formed when the sub continent of India broke away from Gondwanaland. This happen approximately 55 million years ago.
No. It is the collision between two tectonic plates that can cause mountains. For example: when the Indian plate collided into the European plate, the Himalayan mountains were formed.
The Himalayan mountain range of Tibet was formed when the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate collided nearly 50 million years ago. It is the world's current mountain range and includes the world's tallest mountain, Mount Everest.
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.
The Himalayas are young fold mountains. The range was formed when the Indio-australian tectonic plane collided with the Euro-asian tectonic plane. The where we find the Himalayas today was previously filled with sediments, which was carried by the rivers of the Euro-asian plane. When the two previously mentioned plane collided this sediment folded to form the Himalayan range.
The North American plate collided with the Pacific plate that created the rocky mountains.
The North American and African plates
The Himalayan mountains can be found in Asia. They stretch across five countries: Nepal, India, Bhutan, China, and Pakistan.
The Ural Mountains were formed by the continents of Europe and Asia joining together.
Mountains have usually formed on the edges of continents in narrow bands, where continents have collided in the past.
A Himalayan yak lives in Himalayan mountains.
The Himalayan Mountains are what form India's northern Border.
