New analysis of convergent plate boundaries -- home to the planet's largest mountain ranges, the Andes and Himalayas -- suggests an equilibrium of crustal forces controls the height of mountains.

An earthquake of magnitude 3.5 hit Nepal on Sunday morning, as reported by the National Center of Seismology (NCS). As per ...

The heat flow at convergent plate boundaries is in turn influenced by the frictional energy at the interfaces of the continental plates. One can imagine the formation of mountains using a tablecloth.

The result is a mountain range. The Himalayas, the highest mountains in the world, were created this way. ... The Continental Slide (convergent boundary) Slippin' and a Slidin' ...

It marks the boundary where two tectonic plates fused together and an ancient ocean disappeared. Our team of geologists traveled here to collect rocks that erupted as lava more than 60 million ...
