Answer:
Explanation:
The Himalaya Mountains were formed from a collision of tectonic plates. The mountain formation primarily occurred in three phases that began about 50 million to 70 million years ago and most recently occurred about 600,000 years ago. The tectonic plates still are moving, and the mountain range continues to rise; the movement occurs at a rate of about 2 centimeters per year.
