You would find a combination of strike-slip and thrust faults. This is what gives the mountain range the jagged look.

The Himalaya Mountains have been a source of isolation for many years. Those who made the 1500 trek have nicknamed it the 'hump', 'hippie pass' or the 'Khyber pass'.
The Hindu Kush mountains are connected to the Himilayas. So, there is probably more than one mountain since the Himalaya mountains have many.
The Northern mountains include the Himalaya and the Karakoram mountain ranges.The Himalaya is the highest mountain range in the world.It stretches from Jammu&Kasmir in the west Arunachal Pradesh in the east.The 8,848 metres high Mount Everest,in the Himalaya mountains,is the highest peak in the world.It is in Nepal. The Himalya mountains consist of three parallel ranges.They are: *The Great Himalaya (Himadri) *The Middle Himalaya (Himachal) *The Shiwalik
This is because the Himalaya Mountains are a result of continent-continent collision and vulcanism in destructive boundaries results from subduction of oceanic plates. As the Indo-australian plate continues to collide with the Eurasian plate, subduction is no longer possible. The resulting stresses are relieved mostly from very large strike-slip faults. This results in much seismic activity, or earthquakes.Read more: Why_do_many_earthquakes_but_few_volcanic_eruptions_occur_in_the_himalaya
Fold-block mountains form when tension makes the lithosphere break into many normal faults.
Himalaya - book - has 288 pages.
Where two plates move away from each other tension forces create many normal faults.
Volcanic mountains can erupt, folded mountains form when rock layers are squeezed together and pushed upward, fault block mountains form when tension makes the lithosphere break into many normal faults
Where two plates move away from each other tension forces create many normal faults.
Yes. Most of Idaho has fault lines. Hill Road (Northern Boise, runs along the base of the foothills) runs along a fault. Idaho is the 6th-most earthquake-prone state in the US. We have dozens of earthquakes a year, but most are so small that no one feels them.
