Cause of the Himalayan Mountains?

The Himalayan Mountains were formed as a result of the collision between the Indian tectonic plate and the Eurasian tectonic plate around 50 million years ago. The immense pressure and force of the plates pushing against each other caused the land to buckle and rise, creating the towering peaks we see today.


What type of plate boundary is the Andes mountains?

The type of boundary that the Andes mountains are, in South America, is a convergent plate boundary. This was formed from the collision of the South American plate boundary and the Nazca plate.


What type of boundary causes mountains?

Mountain-building is a result of continental collision, so destructive plate boundaries. One plate is destroyed by subduction below the other, which undergoes compression, buckling and uplift as the collision continues. This is happening at present in Asia, raising the Himalayan Mountains.

What does the Himalayan Mountains result from?

What are the Himalayan mountains a result of?

The Himalayan mountains are the result of the Indian tectonic plate pressing hard (among the fastest-moving plates in the world) northward into the Eurasian plate. The Himalayan mountains are folded mountains, as opposed to volcanoes; they are the result of the land being lifted up by the pressure between two plates.
