The Himalayas receive more snowfall than the Alps primarily due to their higher elevation and greater atmospheric moisture. The Himalayas are home to some of the tallest peaks in the world, which allows them to capture more moisture-laden air from the Indian monsoon. Additionally, the geographical position of the Himalayas exposes them to more intense weather systems, resulting in increased precipitation. In contrast, the Alps, while also mountainous, are lower in elevation and experience less moisture from the surrounding climate.

They are both the result of plate tectonics. The Andes mountains are the result of plate tectonics when the so-called South American plate was forced upwards by two other plates covered by oceans that drifted under and into it.
The Himalayas formed when the Indian subcontinent drifted northwards and finally bumped into south Asia. The enormous mass of the Indian continent meant that on contact this drift did not immediately stop, but India kept forcing itself nothwards, forcing the earth before it up and 'folding' it into mountains. To this day this drift continues, at a pace of almost 7 centimeters a year.
