What collided with what to form the Himalayan mountains?
when plates collide mountains will form. If you look at a map with the plate boundaries and compare it to a physical map of the world you will see that a lot of mountaind=s form on plate boundries.
What two plates collided to form the Appalachian mountains?
The North American and African plates
What are the mountain ranges that were created when the Indian plate collided with the Asian plate?
A set of mountains that are still forming as a result of the compaction of two tectonic plates are the Himalayas. 40 or 50 million years ago, the subcontinent of India collided with Eurasia and caused so much pressure that the only way to relieve it was to push up and that was the start of the Himalayan range.
What mountain range is an example of plates colliding?
The Himalayas is an example of a mountain range formed when two plates collided. It was formed upon the collision of the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
The Himalayas are a relatively young mountain range. How did the Himalayas form?
collision of two contential plates
What two plates collided to form the rockies?
The Juan de Fuca Plate and the North American Plate
What two plates collided to form the ural mountains?
The Ural Mountains were formed by the continents of Europe and Asia joining together.
What makes the Himalayas unique?
The Himalayas contain the tallest mountain in the world: Mount Everest. Also, it divides up Asia and it's sub continent (India). The Himalayas were formed when two tectonic plates collided into each other.
Which mountains were formed when two continents collided?
The Himalayas were formed when the Indian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate.
Describe what happens when two plates carrying continental crust collide?
Mountain Ranges form. Like the Himalayas
How did the himalaya mountain range form?
The Himalayas are young fold mountains. The range was formed when the Indio-australian tectonic plane collided with the Euro-asian tectonic plane. The where we find the Himalayas today was previously filled with sediments, which was carried by the rivers of the Euro-asian plane. When the two previously mentioned plane collided this sediment folded to form the Himalayan range.
Which tectonic plates collided to form the Himalayas?
The Indo-Australian plate and the Asian plate, meeting where the Himalayas are, are both forcing their way towards each other. Both these plates are continental, therefore neither will go under the other - they can only move upwards (or buckle). As the plates then rise, the land rises, causing 'fold mountains'. The Himalayan Chain are the largest in the world.
