The Himalayas are among the youngest mountain ranges on the planet and consist mostly of uplifted sedimentary and metamorphic rock. According to the modern theory of plate tectonics, their formation is a result of a continental collision or orogeny along the convergent boundary between the Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. The Arakan Yoma highlands in Myanmar and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal were also formed as a result of this collision.

Continental Collision Boundary
The Himalayas were formed by the collision of the Eurasian plate (continental) and the Indo-Australian plate (continental).
the Himalaya mountains are a revers fault
The Himalayas are formed from a continental to continental plate convergence.
The physical feature that formed the northeast boundary of Asoka's empire was the Himalayan mountain range.
