<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.

What is the best definition of fossil range?
julia-pushkina [17]

The fossil range can simply be defined as the time period in which an organism has existed, thus left fossil traces of its existence. The fossil range can be very short, medium, or long, thus usually there are limitations before certain type of organism evolves into another species, thus eliminating the ancestral organism from the fossil records. On the other hand, there are organisms that have incredibly big fossil ranges of several hundred million years, and since they emerged, they have remained almost unchanged. Those kind of fossil ranges are very rare though, and they don't represent the general picture. Most of the fossil ranges are between several thousand years and several million years, as that is usually how much a species exists, ending its reign, be it because of competition, changes in the environment, or big natural disaster.
