HIMALAYAN VOLCANOES?

The majority of the Himalayas are non-volcanic volcanoes, some volcanoes did form as the oceanic Indian plate collided with southern Asia. One of the most well-known volcanoes in this region is the Kunlun volcano in Tibet.

HOW VOLCANOES FORM?

Volcanoes form when magma below the earth's surface rises and discharges into the earth's crust. As the magma rises,it gathers into reservoirs, and can eventually erupt onto the surface. Strong earthquakes occur during this event and the volcanic cone may appear to swell.
