Uplift and subsequent erosion
When two continents collide, mountains called "fold mountains" are formed. This process is known as orogeny, and examples of such mountains include the Himalayas and the Alps. The collision forces the rocks to compress and fold, creating vast mountain ranges.
The Himalayas formed :]
The Himalayas are Fold Mountains
They were all formed at convergent boundaries
The Andes mountains and the islands of Japan are both formed by subduction zones which was caused by volcanoes. The Himalayas were formed by convergent plate boundaries but no subduction zone. Instead the plates collided and there was uplift causing the mountains.

The Himalayas are a young, fold mountain range formed by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. They are known for their high peaks, including Mount Everest, and are home to a diverse range of ecosystems and cultures.
The Himalayas are formed from a continental to continental plate convergence.
The most notable are the Himalayas, formed when India (on the Indo-Australian plate) drove north into Asia.

The tallest mountains on Earth are formed by the collision of tectonic plates. This collision forces rock layers to be pushed upward, creating towering mountain ranges such as the Himalayas and the Andes. Additionally, the process of erosion and weathering over millions of years can also contribute to the height of these mountains.
Annapurna, like all other mountains in the Himalayas, were formed by tectonic forces pushing landmasses upwards.
