The compression required to form the tightly folded himalayan mountains has resulted from the collision of: two oceanic plates two continental plates a continental plate and an oceanic plate none of these

Two oceanic plates collided which resulted in the tightly folded Himalayan Mountains. Collision of oceanic plates causes the formation of highly elevated land forms (e.g. mountains, mountain ranges). As a result of this, the geographic state of a particular location also changes and the overall habitat and environment of many species are also altered.
