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)
