Week 5

Himalayas

Are a beautiful mountain range that I went to visit a few weeks ago. This mountain range is a great example of a continental crust which can be seen by the folds above the Indian plate. The crust of the Himalayas is one of the thickest due to low density in the area. The margin is located between the Indian Himalayas and the Pakistan Himalayas.  The folds make the most of the structure and is still a place known for high levels of tectonic motion. The Himalayas are a make up from a thrust known as the Main Central Fault.
