The Himalayan mountain chain is formed by the convergence of the Indian and Eurasian plates. This mountain formation due to convergent plates is more correctly known as an orogeny or orogenic event.

How does a mountain range form?
Is form when two plates collide; is caused by the force pushing against each other (the plates).
What is collide divide slide?
Collide-When two plates meetDivide-When two plates separateSlide-When two plates move in a smooth way together
What is it called when two plates collide forming a mountain?
I think that when two continental plates collide it's called a collision margin, the mountains that then form are called fold mountains :)
What land form is created by tectonic plates crashing together?
this depends on the two plates that collide. Ocean plates are much heavier than continental plates. If an ocean and continental plate collide, the ocean plate sinks underneath and creates a trench. If two ocean plates or two continental plate collide, it creates a mountain range/ oceanic ridge depending on the type.
What type of geologic feature will form two continental plates collide ( Explain)?
Mountain ranges are formed when two continental plates collide. When they converge one plate will be forced slightly under the other one.
Describe what happens when two plates carrying continental crust collide?
Mountain Ranges form. Like the Himalayas
Mountains that form when two continents collide are the?
Himalayas.
When two continental plates collide what happens?
When two continental plates collide they form mountains .
When two plates collide they form what?
rift valley
What type of mountain is the Himalayas?
The Himalayas are Fold Mountains
What forms at a convergent boundary?
A convergent boundary is a place where two plates collide, which can form earthquakes from the impact, and volcanoes. Mountains can also be formed by this process. The Himalayas were formed like this.
What landform forms when two of earth's plates collide?
Mountains, get pushed up when two plates collide.
In order for a folded mountain to form, two plates must?
Collide.
What do two oceanic plates that collide form?
eigther volcanoes or mountains
What can form when two continental plates collide?
Fold mountains
How does a mountain range form?
Is form when two plates collide; is caused by the force pushing against each other (the plates).
What could happen two plates collide?
If two plates were to collide they would either go up over the surface and form a volcano, or they would collide and go downward forming a trench or a large crevice.
