The formation of the Himalayas is linked with which process?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Collision of plates

The correct answer is A, collision of plates. The Himalayas are young fold mountains formed when the Indian tectonic plate moved northward and collided with the Eurasian plate. The intervening Tethys Sea had accumulated thick layers of sediments; compression during the collision folded, uplifted and faulted these deposits, creating the Himalayan mountain system. The process is still continuing, so the region remains tectonically active and experiences frequent earthquakes. River deposition can build plains or deltas, but it is not the main process responsible for this mountain chain. Sea waves and sandstorms may modify landforms locally, yet neither can produce the enormous folded ranges of the Himalaya. Therefore, option A correctly identifies the governing plate-tectonic process.
