Hoffman · Answer 1

Answer;

The Himalayas

Explanation; The Himalayan mountain is an example of mountains that was formed as a result of ocean-ocean convergence. In other words the formation of this mountain is due to the movement of plate tectonics. The Himalayan mountain range and Tibetan plateau have formed as a result of the collision between the Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate. The two plates which are now Asia and India came together and the land at the boundary was forced upwards and a mountain was formed there.
