A 3.5 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal on Sunday morning at a depth of 10 kilometers. The earthquake, reported by the ...

An earthquake of 3.9 magnitude jolted Nepal on Sunday, a statement by the National Center for Seismology (NCS) said.

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. (In fact, they're still growing.) So were the European Alps.

This area also contains a different type of boundary, a narrow sinuous geological structure that stretches along the length of the Himalayan mountain range.

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.

The Himalayas, the highest mountains in the world, were created this way. (In fact, they're still growing.) So were the European Alps. Even the Appalachian Mountains formed when two land masses ...
