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.

Why isn't there a huge deep sea trench next to California like there is next to South America?
kari74 [83]

Answer:

Deep-sea trenches generally lie seaward of and parallel to adjacent island arcs or mountain ranges of the continental margins. They are closely associated with and found in subduction zones—that is, locations where a lithospheric plate bearing oceanic crust slides down into the upper mantle under the force of gravity.

Explanation:

"The result is a topographic depression where the oceanic plate comes in contact with the overriding plate, which may be either oceanic or continental. If the overriding plate is oceanic, an island arc develops. The trench forms an arc in plan view, and islands with explosive volcanoes develop on the overriding plate. If the overriding plate is continental, a marginal trench forms where the topographic depression appears to follow the outline of the continental margin. Explosive volcanoes are found there too"
