The mountain range formed by the collision of tectonic plates in the Himalayas is called the Himalayan Mountain Range. It is home to some of the highest peaks in the world, including Mount Everest, which is the tallest at 8,848 meters (29,029 feet) above sea level. This colossal range was formed due to the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate, a process that began around 50 million years ago. The Himalayas hold significant ecological and cultural importance, influencing climate patterns and serving as a vital water source for billions of people across Asia. The region is also a key destination for trekking and mountaineering.
