Geologically, the Himalayan mountain range is one of the youngest mountain ranges on Earth. It has nine of the ten highest peaks in the world. Also, this mountain range is still growing by roughly one centimeter per year. Which statement BEST explains why the Himalayas are getting taller?
Group of answer choices

Two tectonic plates are colliding.

Lava from volcanic eruptions is building up the peaks.

Surrounding areas are sinking due to weathering and erosion.

Wind deposits sediment that collects and builds up the mountains.

Elias is almost correct. he just got it backwards.the correct answer is that it demonstrates elastic potential energy transforming into kinetic energy.

Vander waals forces are inter molecular bonds that exist within molecules of the same substance. a water molecule is made up of oxygen and hydrogen atoms which share electrons between each other. the vander waals forces are forces that exist between multitude of different  molecules of water. dipole dipole forces is the type of vander waals force that exist in water. the oxygen atom which is more electronegative pulls the shared electron closer to itself thus generating a partial negative charge while the hydrogen acquire a partial positive charge. these two different charges causes attraction to occur in water molecules.
