The Himalayas are situated on continental-continental convergent boundaries. Two plates, the Eurasian Plate and the Australian-Indian Plate, are colliding into each other. The Eurasian plate is traveling 3.7-5.4 centimeters each year and this continental collision of two buoyant plates created such tall mountains.

∙ 6y agoThe Himalayas were created when the Indian subcontinent, floating upwards, finally hit the east asian continent. The immense forward movement power of the Indian subcontinent 'crumbled up' the earth before it before it finally stopped. (In reality, there is a residual forward movement force even to this day).
Most of the present Himalaya mountain range forms a 'boundary' in Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet.
