what type of plate boundary formed the himalayas?

Answer and Explanation: The Himalayan Mountains formed at a convergence plate boundary between the Eurasian plate and the Indian plate.

Himalayan Mountains are an example of a Continent-Continent convergent plate boundary where two slabs of continental crust have collided and compressing the crust and the acretionary wedge material and lifting it to form the Himalayan Mountains. Indonesia is another example of an Ocean-Ocean convergent plate boundary.

There are places on the earth where the movement of the plate causes them to collide. These collisions cause convergent boundaries. The collisions of large masses of the crust result in mountains ( such as the Himilayans ) , earthquakes ( such as the San Andreas fault) .

India contains a central shield, and the geologically recent Himalaya mobile belt forms its northern margin. North America and South America are separate continents, the connecting isthmus being largely the result of volcanism from relatively recent subduction tectonics.

The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform, where plates move sideways in relation to each other.

Continental/Continental: The Himalayas. The Himalayan mountain range and Tibetan plateau have formed as a result of the collision between the Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate which began 50 million years ago and continues today.

Earthquake. Kashmir lies in the area of collision of the Eurasian and Indian tectonic plates. The geological activity born out of this collision, also responsible for the birth of the Himalayan mountain range, is the cause of unstable seismicity in the region.

The Aravalli-Delhi Orogen is an orogen event that led to a large structural deformation of the Earth's lithosphere (crust and uppermost mantle, such as Aravalli and Himalayas fold mountains) due to the interaction between tectonic plates when a continental plate is crumpled and is pushed upwards to form mountain ranges ...

Yes, Himalayas rise due to the push from Eurasian Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate.. The impinging of the two landmasses has yet to end. The Himalayas continue to rise more than 1 cm a year -- a growth rate of 10 km in a million years! ... The Himalayas were formed by the Indian landmass moving into Asia and pushing.

Pakistan is split along the boundary between the Eurasian and Indian plates where the India plate slides northward relative to the Eurasia plate in the east. The Eruasia Plate is also being shoved by the Arabia plate as it subducts northward beneath the Eurasia plate along the boundary south of this map.

Abstract. China is principally a part of the Eurasian plate, but the margins of the Indian and Philippine Sea plates are involved in the Himalayas and in the Coastal Range of Taiwan, respectively.

The Himalayas were formed as a result of the collision between the Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate. ... As a result of this collision, the sedimentary rocks which were settled in the large-scale depression in the Earth's crust called Tethys were folded and formed the Himalayas.

The Himalayan mountain range and Tibetan plateau have formed as a result of the collision between the Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate which began 50 million years ago and continues today. ... From about 50-40 Ma the rate of northward drift of the Indian continental plate slowed to around 4-6 cm per year.

When two plates carrying continents collide, the continental crust buckles and rocks pile up, creating towering mountain ranges. The Himalayas were born when the Indian subcontinent smashed into Asia 45 million years ago. The Himalayas are still rising today as the two plates continue to collide.

When two tectonic plates meet, we get a “plate boundary.” There are three major types of plate boundaries, each associated with the formation of a variety of geologic features. If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary.

There are three kinds of plate tectonic boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries. This image shows the three main types of plate boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform. Image courtesy of the U.S. Geological Survey.
