What type of plate boundary exists today along the Himalayas?

Answered by admin @ 02/08/2021

The Himalayas:

It is an amazing thing to consider the Himalayas as the youngest mountain range. They formed around 40-50 million years ago as two tectonic plates crashed together. It is a mountain range that is still growing, even today (even if by only about 20mm a year). With this continuing growth, the region sees disasters like quakes, tremors or landslides fairly often.

Answer and Explanation:

The Himalayas are made up by a converging plate boundary, which is when two continental plates crash together. Due to them being of the same density, one does not slide below the other, but they crash head on, and crumple up. This crumpling of the two plates is what formed the mountains we see today.
