Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
In the case of a convergent boundary between two oceanic plates, one is usually subducted under the other, and in the process a trench is formed. The Marianas Trench (paralleling the Mariana Islands), for example, marks where the fast-moving Pacific Plate converges against the slower moving Philippine Plate. The Himalayan mountains were formed from _____. a convergent boundary between two continental plates a convergent boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate a convergent boundary. between two oceanic plates a divergent boundary between two oceanic plates. The Himalayan mountains were formed from _____. a convergent boundary between two continental plates. Continental/Continental: The Himalayas. 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. HIMALAYAN COLLISION. The Himalayas is a range of fold mountains formed by the collision between India and the rest of Asia. When the two tectonic plates collided, the southern edge of Asia buckled. The Indian plate continues to slide under Asia and, to date, has uplifted Tibet to a height of over 5 km (3 miles). Question and answer. The Himalayan mountains were formed from _____. a convergent boundary between two continental plates a convergent boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate a convergent boundary. between two oceanic plates a divergent boundary between two oceanic plates. The Himalayas formed where the Indo-Australian and Eurasian Plates collided. This collision between two large plates of lighter lithosphere has resulted in this mammoth mountain range, home of the tallest mountain in the world, Mount Everest, which towers over 5 miles above sea level. Collision boundaries. Continental crusts that collide form a convergent boundary also. When two continental crusts collide a large mountain range forms between the two crusts. The Himalayan Mountains are the result of a continental collision between the Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
