Answer

Mountain building caused by a Convergent plate boundary between the colliding Indian and the Eurasian plates.

Explanation:

The country of India is located on the Indian Plate and is currently colliding with the Eurasian plate which is creating the Himalayan Mountain Range along with other structural geologic formations.

Convergent Plate Boundary's are the result of two plates colliding with each other this could be oceanic-continental,  oceanic-oceanic, and continental-continental. The Indian and Eurasian plates are both continental, there is no subduction between the two plates so no volcanism is present in the area.

(On maps the Indo-Australian Plate is sometimes combined with the Indian Plate but they are widely considered separate).

Answer:

igneous rock

Explanation:

There are three main kinds of rocks, sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous.

The igneous rocks are the ones that formed from a hot source like magma inside the soil, as it gets to the surface of the Earth it goes cooling. If it cools almost in the surface of the Earth then is consider a plutonic rock.

Plutonic Rocks have a big quantity of minerals, since they cool under a big pressure, these minerals get together forming a solid rock.

By passing the time the granites of minerals can be easily seen at naked eye, like the characteristics of these sample.
