How were the Himalayan mountains formed?

English
1 answer:
lord [1]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The Himalayas were formed as a result of the <u>collision</u> between the Indian Plate and the Euroasian Plate.

Explanation:

The Himalayan mountain range is the world's tallest mountain range (8,848 m) which stretches between India, Pakistan, Nepal, and China.

Approximately 200 million years ago, India was an island floating near the coast of Australia. As Pangea was breaking apart, India was moving northwards. Later, the part of the Indian tectonic plate went under the Eurasian landmass, moving it up, which resulted in the rise of the Himalayas. So, instead of descending with the plate, the Indian tectonic plate pushed Eurasian landmass upwards and created a massive mountain range – The Himalayas.

Even until now, the Himalayan mountain range rises by 1-2 cm per year.

garik1379 [7]
<span>The sentence that does not contain any errors is D. Whose muddy shoes are these on my clean kitchen floor? This is because the possessive pronoun whose is correctly used here. In A, it should be Greg's, and not Gregs'. In B, it should be actresses' families, and not actresses families'. In C, it should be it's, because that means it is, and not its, which is a possessive pronoun (the dog wagged its tail).</span>

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
dedylja [7]
The point the king is trying to make is, essentially, that while what Hitler did was considered legal and while what the Hungarian Freedom Fighters did was illegal, it is all a matter of human rights. While what Hitler did may have been legal, it was not morally correct to kill 6 million people. And while it was illegal to aid the Jews and provide comfort, it is morally correct to help these people in a time of need, as stated by the golden rule of every religion, do unto others as you would like to have done to you. It is mostly based on what people believe is correct and if certain people believed what Hitler believed, they would not have that certain moral correctness. So in standing up for what you believe in, a change can be made based on the actions; illegal or not.
