Question
according to the text, which geological event led to the formation of the himalayan mountain range? 1 point the collision of the indian and eurasian tectonic plates the shifting of the earths magnetic poles erosion caused by major asian rivers over millions of years volcanic activity along the edges of the asian continent
The Himalayas were formed due to the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. This continental - continental collision led to the uplift of the Earth's crust, forming the world's highest mountain range. The other options are not responsible for the formation of the Himalayas. Shifting of magnetic poles has no direct relation to mountain - building. Erosion by rivers and volcanic activity along the Asian continent edges do not cause the formation of the Himalayas.
