<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.

Which of the following describes a continental climate?
Andre45 [30]

The correct answer is - B. less rainfall and temperature swings between seasons.

These climate types experience the change of four seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, all of which have their own unique characteristics.

The spring and the autumn are mild, and are usually the periods when most of the precipitation occurs.

The summers are very hot and dry, while the winters are very cold and dry.

The temperatures from the summer and the winter may range up to 70 C degrees, with having 35 C degrees above zero in the summer, and 35 C degrees bellow zero in the winters. These climate types are mostly found deeper into the mainland of the continents.

List and describe the evidence used to support the plate tectonics theory.
umka2103 [35]
The basic theory of plate tectonics is that along seafloor spreading zones, the continents are separating from one another. As they spread apart, magma comes to the surface and becomes new continental crust. As the tectonic plates move away from spreading zones, they collide with one another.
