the Himalayas is a group of mountains which are grouped together and are formed by tectonic activityYoung Fold Mountains
the Himalayas were formed by a collision plate boundary, meaning that the plates collided and formed the Himalayas. The Himalayas are also referred to as 'fold mountains' because of the way in which they are made.

The Himalayas formed :]
The Himalayas are Fold Mountains
Uplift and subsequent erosion
They were all formed at convergent boundaries
The Andes mountains and the islands of Japan are both formed by subduction zones which was caused by volcanoes. The Himalayas were formed by convergent plate boundaries but no subduction zone. Instead the plates collided and there was uplift causing the mountains.

The Himalayas are formed from a continental to continental plate convergence.

All that remains of the Appalachians are eroded tops. The Himalayas are still highand jagged, comparatively not as affected by erosion.
