True, the Himalayas formed due to continent-continent collision.
If the temperatures are increasing in a mountainous region, in order to be sure in that, the evidence can simply be obtained by the vegetation. The mountains tend to be warmer at the lower parts, and as the elevation increases, the temperature decreases. If it is a higher mountain, then we will see that there is certain type of vegetation in the lower parts, above it a belt of another vegetation type, above that one there's usually a belt of grasses, and the highest parts are usually with little to no vegetation. If the temperature increases though, then the vegetation from the bottom will start moving upwards, occupying larger portion, the second layer will move upwards as well, and the grasses will come around the top part of the mountain, with the barren part disappearing from the scene.
P waves can travel through liquid and solids and gases, while S waves only travel through solids. Scientists use this information to help them determine the structure of Earth.
S waves have a larger amplitude than P waves and cause the ground's surface to move both vertically and horizontally, making them more dangerous. Surface waves, which move slowly, are the last to arrive. P waves leave the earthquake first and go the furthest. Rock oscillates perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation in S or shear waves. In rock, S waves typically move at a pace of roughly 60% that of P waves, and they always come after the latter. Points of solid media move back and forth perpendicular to the wave's direction of propagation due to S waves, also known as shear or transverse waves. As the wave passes, the medium is sheared first in one direction and then in the opposite direction.
