D colliding tectonic platesThe Himalaya Mountains formed as a result of the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. This process, known as plate tectonics, involves the movement of the Earth's lithospheric plates. The Indian plate is moving northward and has been pushing into the Eurasian plate for millions of years. This collision has caused the Eurasian plate to buckle and fold, resulting in the uplift and formation of the Himalaya mountain range.QUESTION 22D soilWind and water erosion are natural processes that break down and remove soil from the Earth's surface. While wind and water erosion can affect mountains, rocks, and tides, they are not likely to affect soil directly. Soil is the upper layer of the Earth's surface, composed of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and countless organisms that together support life. Wind and water erosion can indirectly affect soil by removing the topsoil layer, which is rich in organic matter and nutrients necessary for plant growth.
