Destination 2: Himalayan Mountains Collision Boundary

I have just arrived in beautiful India, where I plan to hike to go see the Himalayan Mountains tomorrow. I am staying at the Taj Hotel, in the city of New Delhi, where they serve a delicious breakfast included with your room. I have a spectacular view of the rest of town.

Tomorrow I'll be heading to the Himalayan Mountain range, which is a great example of a collision boundary. A collision boundary. A collision boundary occurs when two converging plates, (two plates pushing into each other) become a single continent. The converging of India pushing into China creates the Himalayas, which increase in height by around 5 centimeters a year!
