Convergent:Collision

Next on our journey is to find a convergent collision zone. Convergent-Collision is different from Convergent-Subduction because in collision the two plates converge and both move up to create a mountain range. For example, while the subduction zone has a crust slip underneath another, the collision both push up to create a mountain range. An example of a Convergent-Collision is the Himalayas. We left the Philippines and reached Tibet on May 29th, 2014. Tibet's weather was clear skies and sun. From my hotel room I was able to take a glimpse of the immense Himalayas through the clear sky. Here a picture I took on the Helicopter ride to the Himalayas:

Breathtaking right? If you want to know how these mountain ranges are formed, let me tell you they don't just magically appear. They are formed when two tectonic plates meet together and both escalate to create a mountain range. Confused? Look at the picture.

In Uttarkashi (Garhwal Himalaya) on October 20th, 1991 there was 6.6 earthquake. A trench forms at the bend of a convergence zone. All of the folding and bending causes the plates to break and slip, causing earthquakes. I learned that in convergent zones that are continental-continental, it causes mountain ranges to form and earthquake activity. Which totally explains why the Himalayas formed and why there are often earthquakes in this area.
