Here's a breakdown:
* Convergent Boundary: Two tectonic plates are moving towards each other.
* Continental-Continental Collision: When two continental plates collide, they have similar densities, meaning neither can subduct (slide) under the other. Instead, the intense pressure causes the land to buckle, fold, and uplift, creating mountain ranges like the Himalayas.
In the case of the Himalayas, the Indian Plate is colliding with the Eurasian Plate. This collision began millions of years ago and continues today, resulting in the ongoing uplift of the Himalayas.
