Answer:

Himalayan Mountain Range

Step-by-step explanation:

In the western part of China it is located part of the largest mountain range in the world, the Himalayan Mountain Range. This mountain range is the highest, with its top elevation at Mount Everest at 8,848 meters above sea level. This mountain range is the base for several other mountain ranges and plateaus, with the Tibetan Plateau being largest by area and the best known of them. The Himalayas have formed as a result of the collision, or rather convergent plate boundary between India and Eurasia. As India hit Eurasia, both continental masses were pushing against each other, causing the surrounding area to gradually lift up, creating a mountain range. The process is still not finished though, as the collision is still going on, so this mountain range is constantly becoming higher and higher.
