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).

3. Describe how convection currents form. Use evidence from your “Earth’s Internal Heat” notes to support your answer. Be sure t
Vaselesa [24]

The convection currents are formed due to heating of molecules.

When the liquid molecules are heated, the liquid becomes larger in size and lighter in weight. The heated molecules take up more space and rise to the top, while the cooler molecules comes to the bottom and takes the place. This cycle is known as the convection current.

Convection currents are the result of differential heating. Lighter which is less dense and warm material goes upward while on the other hand, heavier which is more dense and cool material sinks. This movement creates circulation patterns known as convection currents in the atmosphere.
