Question

If current trends continue, what will happen to the Himalayan Mountains in the next million years?

Answer 1

They will change shape from the air and rain and fog and other weather.

Answer 2

Answer:

Disapear in a great Earthquake

Explanation:

The snow at the top of the Himalayas seems eternal and dormant, but it is not: it grows at an annual rate of four millimeters due to plate tectonic pressure, which increases the fear of an earthquake in Nepal. The phenomenon escapes the human eye, but dates back millions of years. The Indian plate slowly slips under the eurasian plate, and this pressure gradually lifts the highest mountains on earth.

The mountain range grows 4 millimeters upward each year, because the Indian plate continues to slide between 2 and 2.5 centimeters annually under the eurasia. On the surface, the arm wrestling between the two plates has potentially terrifying consequences in Nepal, where experts predict a “big earthquake” and the population reacts in terror to any news of earthquakes elsewhere.
