What kind of mountain is himalaya mountains?
Himalaya means the house of snow, it was formed by the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Continental plates colliding over millions of years. The formation period was around 75 million years ago. The Himalayas known to be youngfold mountains, which falls into two categories of mountain formation. Firstly, the folded mountains defined by tremendous force pushing from both sides of the tectonic plates, thus with this great pressure the result is the mountain breaking, bending and folding. Secondly, the block fault mountain where the mountain mass rises from the earth, the mountain raising pressure causes the rock to crack and slide. It is the most common type of formation, the tectonic plates colliding together causing the land mass to move in the only direction it can, up.
