Here's why:

* Continental-continental convergence: This type of boundary occurs when two continental plates collide.

* The Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate: The Himalayas were formed by the collision of the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. Both plates are continental.

* Uplift and Folding: When these massive landmasses collide, the immense pressure causes the land to buckle, fold, and uplift, creating the towering Himalayan mountain range.
