<h2>Answer:</h2>

When Indian plate collided with Eurasian plate created Himalayan Mountains.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The cause for the Himalayan Mountains to exist is due to Continental drift. This is caused by the collision of Indian and Eurasian plates typically known as continent-continent collision. Enormous amount of pressure is created in this situation to give rise to a gigantic mountain uplift.

During this process, sedimentary rocks got folded in a large scale in the Earth's crust called Tethys. The maximum elevation in this region is Mount Everest of 8848 m which is the highest point on the Earth. This mountain region along with Tibet plateau provides water to one-fifth of the world's population.

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Hurricanes need a lot of heat to form, which is why they usually occur over tropical seas (at least 26°C).

The sun is close to the equator, providing energy to heat the ocean.

The warm ocean heats the air above it causing it to rise rapidly.

Water evaporates quickly from the hot surface of the ocean, so the rising air contains great amounts of water vapour.

The rising air starts to spin (anti-clockwise in the northern hemisphere)

The centre of the storm - the eye - is calm.

As the air rises it cools, condenses and forms towering cumulonimbus clouds.

The rapidly rising air creates an area of intense low pressure. The low pressure sucks in air, causing very strong winds.

Once the storm moves over land it starts to lose energy and fades.
