The Himalayas are primarily fold mountains, formed by the collision of the Indian tectonic plate with the Eurasian plate, resulting in their dramatic height and complex geology. In contrast, the Rockies are mainly block mountains, created by tectonic forces that uplift sections of the Earth's crust, leading to their rugged terrain and sharp peaks. Both mountain ranges exhibit significant geological activity and have diverse ecosystems.
