Himalayas

Hello Everyone!

I am here in the Himalayas, at Mount Everest. My is it cold here, but it sure is beautiful. Im camped at the bottom, because, to be frank, I probably could not climb this. I feel like everyone should see this mountain range at least once. This mountain range is magnificent, but just how was the biggest mountain range formed. The Himalayas were formed by collision boundary. Two converging plates carrying continental continents collide. The collision between these two continental crusts cause the crust to push upwards, forming a mountain range. The Himalayas lie between the collision boundary where India is pushing northward into China at a rate of about 5 centimeters. This is how the Indian subcontinent was welded to Asia. As this process is repeated, the Himalayas will continue to grow in size. There will also be a number of earthquakes in this region.

I must go now, for it is getting late. Ill see you in a little bit! Can't wait for the next stop!

Till next time,

Greg
