Lifted by the collision of the Indian tectonic plate with the Eurasian Plate, the Himalayan range runs northwest to southeast in a 2,400-kilometre (1,500 mi)-long arc. The range varies in width from 400 kilometres (250 mi) in the west to 150 kilometres (93 mi) in the east. Besides the Greater Himalayas, there are several parallel lower ranges. The southernmost, along the northern edge of the Indian plains and reaching 1000 m in altitude, is the Sivalik Hills. Further north is a higher range, reaching 2000-3000 m, known as the Lower Himalayan Range.
What else can I help you with?
What else resulted from the collision of those plates?
The collision of plates can also result in the formation of mountain ranges, volcanic activity, earthquakes, and the creation of new landmasses. These geological processes can have significant impacts on the Earth's surface and can influence the distribution of habitats and ecosystems.
Three examples of continent or oceanic plates colliding?
Aleutians: Two oceanic plates Appalachians: Two continental plates Andes: One continental plate, one oceanic plate North American Cordillera: One island plateau, one continental plate Aleutian mountains are those that form when two oceanic plates collide. The Appalachians formed when two continents collided. Andean-type mountains form when oceanic crust is subducted under continental crust. The North American Cordillera is an example of arc-continent collision, which is when island plateaus join a continent.
What mountains are in Kharchyun Nepal?
Those would be the Himalayas.
If you registration is expired can you transfer those plates?
no those plates match that car you will get in more trouble for switching plates than not haning any at all
What two plates create mountains?
Convergent boundary where two tectonic plates collide can create mountains. One plate is usually forced beneath the other in a process called subduction, leading to the formation of mountain ranges like the Andes or Himalayas.
How can the plate tectonic theory help explain the formation of the Andes and Himalayan mountains?
Plate tectonics explain the formation of mountains by mountain chains may form where plates move together. As plates move apart, magma may rise to the surface, forming a volcano.
What kind of region would you expect to have the greatest relief?
The regions of greatest relief are often those near the active junction of two tectonic plates. This junction may be a subduction zone, such as in the major oceanic trenches such as the Marina Trench; or a collision zonesuch as near the Andes and the Himalayas.
Is the crust made of tectonic plates?
Yes, it is made of tectonic plates and those plates have names e.g. Indo Australian plate, Eurasion plate
C There are two types of tectonic plates oceanic and continental what is the difference between these two types of plates?
The lithosphere displaces the asthenoshpere. Thick tectonic plates, such as those made of continental crust, displace more asthenosphere than do thin plates, such as those made of oceanic lithosphere.

Do you need car insurance on a car that you do not drive in the state of Delaware?
If you have plates on it, and you intend to keep those plates, then yes.
Are the Himalayas an example of a continental- continental convergent plate boundary?
Although they aren't common, yes, transform faults can give rise to mountains. Most transform faults take place between oceanic crust, but an easy-to-see example is that of the San Andreas Fault giving rise to the San Gabriel Mountains.
What is a synonym of concussion?
Collision, shaking, shock, and bump are words. Those mean concussion.
