Answer:

The Himalayan mountain chain is an example of a continental collision. 40 million years ago, the Indian plate collided with the Eurasian plate. The enormous pressure forces resulting from this shock caused a gigantic mountain uplift. There are 3000 km of the Himalayas with Mount Everest being the highest peak (8848m)

The Himalayan mountain range and Tibetan plateau have formed as a result. of the collision between the Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate which began 50 million years ago and continues today. 225 million years ago (Ma) India was a large island situated off the Australian coast and separated from Asia by the Tethys Ocean.
