D
Thar Desert
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Himalayas are a prime example of how tectonic plate motion can manipulate the earth in extraordinary ways. These colliding plates resulted in the formation of the highest mountain range on the planet. Our continents are carried by a series of tectonic plates located in the earth’s lithosphere.

Detailed explanation-2: -When two continental plates converge, they smash together and create mountains. The amazing Himalaya Mountains are the result of this type of convergent plate boundary.

Detailed explanation-3: -Typically, a convergent plate boundary-such as the one between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate-forms towering mountain ranges, like the Himalaya, as Earth’s crust is crumpled and pushed upward.
