which of these is where the collision occurred that formed the himalaya mountains?
convergent boundary
divergent boundary
transform boundary
The Himalaya Mountains were formed due to the collision of tectonic plates. A convergent boundary is where two plates move towards each other. In the case of the Himalayas, the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate collided at a convergent boundary. A divergent boundary is where plates move apart (e.g., mid - ocean ridges). A transform boundary is where plates slide past each other (e.g., San Andreas Fault).
