Lifted by the collision of the Indian tectonic plate with the Eurasian Plate, the Himalayan range runs northwest to southeast in a 2,400-kilometre (1,500 mi)-long arc. The range varies in width from 400 kilometres (250 mi) in the west to 150 kilometres (93 mi) in the east. Besides the Greater Himalayas, there are several parallel lower ranges. The southernmost, along the northern edge of the Indian plains and reaching 1000 m in altitude, is the Sivalik Hills. Further north is a higher range, reaching 2000-3000 m, known as the Lower Himalayan Range.

What else resulted from the collision of those plates?
another result was the collison moved china eastward as it moved india northward pushed the eastern plate in front of it
What kind of region would you expect to have the greatest relief?
The regions of greatest relief are often those near the active junction of two tectonic plates. This junction may be a subduction zone, such as in the major oceanic trenches such as the Marina Trench; or a collision zonesuch as near the Andes and the Himalayas.
What mountains are in Kharchyun Nepal?
Those would be the Himalayas.
Folded mountains are formed when land is?
Folded mountains, like those of Himalayas and Alphs, are formed when the earth tectonic plates crush together at their borders. This is usually after a lot of pressure is exerted on the edges of these plates upwards leading to the formation of the mountainous folds.
If you registration is expired can you transfer those plates?
no those plates match that car you will get in more trouble for switching plates than not haning any at all
How can the plate tectonic theory help explain the formation of the Andes and Himalayan mountains?
Plate tectonics explain the formation of mountains by mountain chains may form where plates move together. As plates move apart, magma may rise to the surface, forming a volcano.
C There are two types of tectonic plates oceanic and continental what is the difference between these two types of plates?
The lithosphere displaces the asthenoshpere. Thick tectonic plates, such as those made of continental crust, displace more asthenosphere than do thin plates, such as those made of oceanic lithosphere.

What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
Is the crust made of tectonic plates?
Yes, it is made of tectonic plates and those plates have names e.g. Indo Australian plate, Eurasion plate
Is the crust made out of tectonic plates?
Yes, it is made of tectonic plates and those plates have names e.g. Indo Australian plate, Eurasion plate
Do you need car insurance on a car that you do not drive in the state of Delaware?
If you have plates on it, and you intend to keep those plates, then yes.
What is a synonym of concussion?
Collision, shaking, shock, and bump are words. Those mean concussion.
