Question

the himalayas were formed due to the collision of which two types of crustal plates? question 14

Explanation:

The Himalayas were formed by the collision of the Indian Plate (continental) and the Eurasian Plate (continental). When two continental plates collide, neither is sub - ducted (as in oceanic - continental or oceanic - oceanic collisions). Instead, they buckle and push upwards, creating large mountain ranges. Oceanic - transform and oceanic - oceanic collisions do not form large mountain ranges like the Himalayas. Oceanic - continental collisions lead to subduction of the oceanic plate and volcanic activity rather than the formation of the Himalayas.

Answer:

Continental and Continental
