What are two ways plateaus can be formed?

Could the Himalaya mountains be formed into a continental-continental convergence?

What causes plateaus to form?
Mountains and Plateaus are formed when tectonic plates collide with one another. The Himalayas were formed and are still growing as the two tectonic plates they sit on are still pushing on one another.
How are plateus formed?
Plateaus are formed by the upwelling of volcanic magma and erosion by water and glaciers. When the magma rises it causes the ground to swell upward. Large areas of flat rock are lifted up and this forms the plateaus.
What creates plateaus?
There are a few different ways that plateaus can be formed. One way is erosion by water. Another is erosion by glaciers. Magma swelling to the Earth's surface and pushing the crust upward is a third way they can be formed.
How were the himilayas formed?
