Himalayan mountain range

The Himalayan mountain range is a vast, mountainous region in Asia, formed by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. This colossal pressure pushed up the Earth's crust, creating the world's highest peaks, including Mount Everest. Stretching across five countries—India, Nepal, Bhutan, China, and Pakistan—the Himalayas influence the climate and ecosystems of the region. They also serve as sacred sites and homes to diverse cultures and wildlife. The range's geological activity continues to shape the landscape, making it one of the most impressive natural features on Earth and a critical area for scientific study.
