Continents and Regions

A continent-continent collision occurs when two continental plates converge and push against each other. This collision can lead to mountain building, as seen in the collision between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate that formed the Himalayas.

The movement of tectonic plates through a process called plate tectonics has caused the location of Earth's continents to change over time. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them, causing them to move around and collide, separate, or slide past each other, leading to the reshaping of the Earth's surface.
