Question

question:
the continued rise of the himalayan mountain range is due to

answer options:
select one of four
plate convergence.
isostatic uplift and fault - block formation.
isostatic uplift only.
isostatic uplift and plate convergence.

Explanation:

The Himalayas are formed by the convergence of the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate (plate convergence), and also undergo isostatic uplift as the crust adjusts. Fault - block formation is not the main process for Himalayan rise, and it's not just isostatic uplift or just plate convergence alone. So the correct factor is isostatic uplift and plate convergence.

Answer:

D. isostatic uplift and plate convergence.
