question 2 1 pts the himalayan mountains were formed by two crustal plates continuously pushing together. what type of boundary is formed by this action between two continental plates? convergent divergent subduction transform
When two continental plates push together, they form a convergent boundary. Divergent boundaries are where plates move apart, subduction occurs when one plate goes beneath another (usually an oceanic - continental or oceanic - oceanic interaction), and transform boundaries are where plates slide past each other. The Himalayas formed due to the collision of the Indian and Eurasian continental plates, which is a convergent process.
