Question

question 10 (1 point)
on the slip, slide, and collide tab, answer the following.
what is the reason the himalayas mountains continue to grow higher?
a the indian plate is moving southward away from asia.
b the indian plate is moving northward movement into asia.
c the eurasian plate is moving northward away from india.
d the eurasian plate is moving southward into india.

Explanation:

The Himalayas form due to the collision of the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate. The Indian plate moves northward into the Eurasian plate (part of Asia), causing the crust to crumple and push upward, making the Himalayas grow. Option a is wrong as the Indian plate moves toward Asia, not away. Option c is wrong as the Eurasian plate doesn't move northward away from India. Option d is wrong as the Eurasian plate is relatively stable in terms of moving southward into India; it's the Indian plate moving north. So option b is correct.

Answer:

b. The Indian plate is moving northward movement into Asia.
