Answer:

These two plates will form mountains.

Explanation:

This is an example of convergent boundaries. Convergent Boundaries are formed when two plates move towards each other. Converge means to come together from different directions and meet at one place

In the case of you question, India and Asia are an example of a Convergent Boundary. According to the theory of Continental Drift - India crashed into India. The two land masses buckled and folded - forming the Himalayas!

3. While visiting the Grand Canyon, you are amazed by the depth of layers of sedimentary rock before you, <u>the law of superposition</u>-- is evident here where progressively younger layers have formed over time and are stacked upon each other.

4. A fault cuts through layers of limestone, sandstone, and conglomerate. The surrounding layers must be <u>older</u> than the fault.

5. A mass of granite has inclusions of surrounding sandstone. The sandstone and surrounding layers show evidence of uplift over time. The granite must be <u>younger</u> than the sand deposits.

New crust forms along divergent plate boundaries. Yet, Earth is not getting larger. Why?
