Question

What kind of mountains are the Himalayas?

Answer 1

The Himalayan mountains are formed from seafloor sediments. The mountain system spans 2400 km along India's northern and eastern borders, ranging from 160 to 320 km in width. The region comprises the Karakoram Range and the central and eastern Himalayas. The Himalayas were formed by ancient geological forces that uplifted the Indian Plate beneath the Eurasian landmass, pushing India's northern limit higher.
