Himalayas formation may have destroyed at least 30% of continental crust in collision zone
Earth's continents are slowly moving across the planet's surface due to plate tectonics, culminating in regions of crustal expansion and collision. In the latter case, high temperatures and pressures ...
Most geologists believe the Himalayas’ immense height results from thickening of the Earth’s crust. However, a new study suggests the geology beneath the world’s tallest mountain range is much more ...
Astronauts onboard the International Space Station (ISS) shot these photographs of the Himalayas, the Tibetan Plateau, and the Indo-Gangetic plain. A team of researchers at the Stanford Doerr School ...
Standing at nearly 9,000 meters tall and growing more each day, the Himalayas are the world’s largest and also youngest mountain range. It notably includes Mount Everest, which staggers above sea ...
New modeling indicates 100-year-old geological theory on the Himalayas may have been wrong all along
For the last century, Émile Argand's theory on the formation and geological support system of the massive Himalayan mountain range has remained the predominant explanation widely accepted among ...
