Question

what process best explains the formation of the himalayas located at a boundary where two continental plates meet? erosion from wind and glaciers only; sediments stacking up from ocean currents; continental - continental convergence causing uplift over millions of years; a single volcanic eruption at divergent - divergent boundaries forming a tall mountain quickly

Explanation:

The Himalayas formed when the Indian continental plate collided with the Eurasian continental plate. This type of continental-continental convergent boundary causes the crust to crumple and uplift over millions of years, as neither plate is dense enough to subduct. The other options are incorrect: erosion shapes mountains but does not form them, ocean current sediments do not create large mountain ranges, and volcanic eruptions at divergent boundaries do not form this type of mountain.

Answer:

C. Continental-continental convergence causing uplift over millions of years
