Although the Himalaya Mountains are still growing today, eventually (regardless of whether the collision between the Australian-

Indian plate and the Eurasian plate continues or not) the mountain will stop growing. Why is that

Answer:

This is because of isostatic adjustment.

Explanation:

The mountains of the Himalayas keep growing because of the isostatic adjustment. it allows for a gravitational balance in the Himalayan mountain region, which causes tectonic plates to float below these mountains. This fluctuation occurs in the densest part of the asthenosphere. This density, together with the force of gravity, causes an increase in the height of the tectonic plate that sinks more and more. As the tectonic plate sinks, inversely, this plate rises, when its weight decreases, and it is this rise that causes the mountain to grow.

padilas [110]

Answer:

Radiation and advection

Explanation:

  • Conduction: It happens when particles of matter are in direct contact, the adjacent atoms of higher energy vibrate against each other transferring energy from high to low temperature. Fluids and gases are less conductive than solids because their atoms have a greater distance. An example is the heat transferred between the electric burner of a stove and the bottom of a pan.
  • Convection: Is a heat transference between a surface and a liquid or gas in motion, as the fluid/gas travels faster the transferred heat increases. An example of this transfer takes place in a forced-air furnace and weather systems.
  • Advection: is similar to convection but the transfer of heat is lateral or horizontal. In the atmosphere this kind of transfer is common.
  • Radiation: is the transfer through empty space, it occurs without an intervening medium when microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light or another electromagnetic radiation is emitted or absorbed. An example is the sun warming the Earth.

Advection and radiation are the primary forms of heat transfer. Convection only happens in the troposphere because horizontal heat transfer (advection) is significantly bigger. The same happens with conduction that only transfers heat in the lower layers of the atmosphere, Sun's radiation, on the other hand, gets absorbed in all the atmosphere.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
