How did the movement of create the Himalayas?
The Himalayas were lifted by the subduction of the Indian tectonic plate under the Eurasian Plate,
Did the movement of plates create the Himalayas?
The Himalayas were lifted by the subduction of the Indian tectonic plate under the Eurasian Plate,
How Himalayan mountain ranges appear?
The Himalayas were formed by tectonic movement... As the plate that India sits on collided with the continent of Asia the land mass at the point of collision was forced upward creating the Himalayas.
The himalayaya moutains were formed in a collison at a?
The Himalayas mountain range was formed (and, according to scientists, is still growing in height!) when the Indian Tectonic Plate collided with the European Plate.
How were the Andes mt range the Himalayas and the islands of japan formed differently?
The Andes were formed when one tectonic plate was driven below another, elevating part of the South American plate. The Himalayas were formed (and are still being formed) by crushing and folding of one tectonic plate as another is driving into it. The Japanese island chains were formed (and are still being formed) by two tectonic plates pulling slightly apart from each other. Magma boils upward, forming new land.
How was mount Cleveland formed?
Mount Cleveland was formed by the movement of the Pacific and North American plate-tectonic plate- - Bella McCauley
Does the Eurasian plate have a convergent boundary?
It has several! For example the Himalayas are formed due to the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates.
What tectonic plates are the Himalayas on?
The Himalayas are on the boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate.
How the great Himalayas were formed?
The Himalayas were formed through a process of Convergent Plate Boundaries colliding together. The Indo-Australian and Eurasian plate collided together, to be specific.
How si a gorge formed?
Gorges are formed by tectonic plate movement or by erosion caused by flowing water-rivers.
How was India formed by plate tectonics?
India has it's own tectonic plate. It is not tectonically connected to the Eurasian plate. When the India plate crashed into the Eurasian plate, this formed the Himalayan Mountains. India is still moving closer to into the Eurasian plate today, and this is how the Himalayas are still growing.
What type of plate margin formed the Himalayas?
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.
