What will happen to the Himalayan Mountains in the next million years If current trends continue?
This is not the psychic network so we can't answer what the future will be like. A million years from now there may not even be a habitual earth.

What is an Underwater mountain?
It is exactly as it sounds. It is a range of mountains, just like the Rockies or the Himalayan mountains above water, but entirely submerged in the ocean.
Capitalize mountains in Himalayas mountains?
In "Himalayan mountains", the word "mountains" is not capitalized. It would be like saying "American mountains". It is NOT the same as saying the "Rocky Mountains", as "Rocky" is not a geographical area (and thus "mountains" should be capitalized). The Himalayas are.
What mountain range is underwater?
It is exactly as it sounds. It is a range of mountains, just like the Rockies or the Himalayan mountains above water, but entirely submerged in the ocean.
How does weathering reduce the height of mountains through millions of years?
weathering reduce the height of mountains through million of years because of weathering like wind, rain and people because its like they are migrating from one place to other.
What was the area of the Himalayas 40 million years ago?
it looks like...?It was relatively flat.
What is a snow leopard's community like?
snow leopards live in north Africa or Asia, somewhere it is real cold The snow leopard is found in the Himalayan mountains only.
Which boundary formed the Himalayan mountains?
There is widespread agreement among geologists that the Himalayas began forming roughly 50-70 million years ago when the northward-moving Indo-Australian tectonic plate began colliding with the relatively stationary Eurasian Plate. The boundary of the collision is called the Tibetan Plateau, which was shattered and pushed upward to form the great Himalyan peaks such as Mt Everest. First to collide were the leading edges of the continental shelves, where massive amounts of seafloor ocean sediments and sedimentary rock were being tilted and thrust upward. Evidence of this exists on the top of Mt. Everest, the world's highest peak above sea level, where there are ancient marine fossils in abundance. The Indo-Australian Plate continues to be driven northward, sliding under the Tibetan Plateau at the rate of about 6.7 cm (2.6 inches) per year and causes the Plateau to continue to be pushed upward. The Indo-Australian Plate has slowed to less than half of its original velocity, but it appears likely that it will continue moving northward for roughly another 10 million years, creating a Himalayan-like landscape as far north as 1500 km (930 miles) from the present range of mountains.
What is the oldest mountain range in North America?
From WikipediaThe St. Francois Mountains were formed by volcanic and intrusive activity 1.485 billion (1.485 x 109) years ago.[3]By comparison, the Appalachians started forming about 460 million years ago, and the Rockies a mere 140 million years ago. When the Appalachians started forming, the St. Francois range was already twice as old as the Appalachians are today.There are several mountain ranges often cited as the oldest in North America. The Wichita Mountains in southwestern Oklahoma began forming 550 to 600 million years ago. Similarly, the Unwharrie Mountains in North Carolina began forming approximately 500 million years ago. The Appalachian Mountains began forming 470 million years ago. However, the formation of the Appalachians brought older rocks to the surface. Unlike the older Wichita Mountains, there are rocks over 1 billion years old on the surface with rocks as old as 1.3 billion years old found. Like the Appalachians, the Arbuckle Mountains in south-central Oklahoma were formed shortly after the Appalachians, but have some rocks as old as 1.4 billion years of age. All four of the ranges listed above are thought to once have had peaks reaching near or above 20,000 feet from sea level.
How old is the Nile River?
As old as history itself, at least a few million years.
