because of the tectonic plates. the oceanic crust in front of it was slowly sub-ducted under the eurasian plate. but when 2 continents collided, subduction stopped because India could not sink into the mantle. instead, it pushed crust upward & downward. the Himalayas were one of the results.

How many people visit Himalayas each year?
In the year 2000 over 350,000 tourists visited the himalayas.
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.
What causes the Himalayas mountains between India and Asia to grow several centimeters every year?
The Himalayas grow due to the collision between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates, which pushes the land upwards forming the mountain range. The pressure and movement of the Earth's plates cause the Himalayas to rise several centimeters every year.
Why do mushrooms grow back each year?
Mushrooms are the reproductive structures of fungi, which have an underground network called mycelium. This mycelium can remain dormant during unfavorable conditions and then produce mushrooms when conditions are right. As long as the mycelium is alive and healthy, mushrooms can continue to grow back each year.
Why does Mt. Everest grow every year?
It continues to grow because the Eurasia plate and the Indian plate are constantly converging( moving together), forming the Himalayas.
What continent crashed into another continent?
The Indian subcontinent crashed into the Eurasian continent, leading to the formation of the Himalayan mountain range. This collision continues today, causing the Himalayas to grow about 2.4 inches taller each year.
How long does hair grow each year on average?
About 12 inches each year.
How much does the himilais grow each year?
The Himalayas are estimated to grow at a rate of about 5 millimeters (0.2 inches) per year, primarily due to the tectonic activity resulting from the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates. This growth can vary in different regions of the mountain range. Additionally, geological processes such as erosion can affect the overall height and shape of the mountains over time.
Are there any kinds of kittens that do not grow?
No. All healthy and live kittens grow and continue to do so until after one year old.
Do potatoes grow back every year, or do they need to be replanted annually?
