Question

The modern Himalayas continue to grow as a plate carrying oceanic crust subducts beneath a plate carrying continental crust.

Answer 1

Answer: True. The growth is as a result of and is the convergence between these crusts

Explanation:

Convergent: Continental to Continental then to Oceanic crust

A convergent boundary is created when an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate. The oceanic plates typically goes under the continental plate when this the case. The going under is because the oceanic plate is thinner and more dense than the continental plate. This type of convergent boundary is what probably create volcanic mountain ranges like Mount Rainier, the Ring of Fire. It can also cause earthquakes and some seismic activities.
