<u>ANSWER:</u>

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

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

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.

Explanation:

Scientists have been able to determine that the melting of ice from Greenland ice sheet will reduce the rate of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) which is an important part of the global ocean current that determines the climate and controls Gulf stream. It as been inferred by researchers that this could affect climatic conditions in places like Europe and North America in the future.

The influx of fresh water from Greenland which is made up of runoff from ice, tundra and ice discharge will weaken the AMOC and this as both local and global effects on climate.
