Which type of plate boundary led to the creation of the himalayan mountains, the highest in the world, near india? a. subduction b. divergent c. collisional d. transform

ANSWER:

Collisional plate boundary led to the 'creation' of the Himalayan Mountains.

EXPLANATION:

Himalayan Mountains have been form bed because of the 'collision' of the 'Indian Plate' and the 'Eurasian Plate'. The collision process of the plates started almost '50 million years ago' and continues till date. The Indian plate is a major tectonic plate in the eastern hemisphere. The Eurasian plate and the Indian plate collide along the 'boundary' between 'India and Nepal' led to the formation of the Himalayan Mountains. The Indian Plate as well as the Eurasian Plate are moving till date causing the deformation and compression of both plates.
