GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A collisional mountain range forms as an entire ocean closes and blocks of thick continental crust collide.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mountains form where two continental plates collide. Since both plates have a similar thickness and weight, neither one will sink under the other. Instead, they crumple and fold until the rocks are forced up to form a mountain range. As the plates continue to collide, mountains will get taller and taller.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fold mountains are formed when two plates come together and collide. This happens when convection currents push the plates towards each other. Q. The Alps and Himalayas are examples of fold mountains that are formed at convergent boundaries due to the collision of two tectonic plates.

Detailed explanation-4: -When two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. A convergent plate boundary such as the one between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate forms towering mountain ranges, like the Himalayas, as Earth’s crust is crumpled and pushed upward.
