The '''Himalayas''' are a mountain range in south-central [[Asia]] located within the nations of [[India]], [[China]] ([[Tibet]]), [[Nepal]] and [[Bhutan]].
The range contains the three highest peaks in the world: [[Mount Everest]], [[K2]] and [[Kangchenjunga]]. The Himalayas formed as a result of the collision of the Arabian and the Australian-Indian tectonic plates. The mountains are still rising as a result of this ongoing collision. <ref>http://www.moorlandschool.co.uk/earth/tectonic.htm</ref>
