For my last stop with my travel group we are climbing the Himalayan Mountains. These were formed from the Indian plate and Asian continent clashing together. It is a continental convergent boundary. The Himalayan Mountains were formed from the two continents clashing together, and then the land folded up to form them, like when you push two pieces of paper together and instead of one sliding under the other, the curve up. They were then eroded by weather to be what they are now. Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world is in the Himalayas. It is very snowy and pretty. My tour group loves it.
