Difference between Himalayas and Thrust fault

Himalayas vs. Thrust fault

The Himalayas, or Himalaya, form a mountain range in Asia separating the plains of the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau. A thrust fault is a break in the Earth's crust, across which older rocks are pushed above younger rocks.

Similarities between Himalayas and Thrust fault

Himalayas and Thrust fault have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Continental crust, Oceanic trench, Orogeny, Plate tectonics, Subduction.

Continental crust

Continental crust is the layer of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks that forms the continents and the areas of shallow seabed close to their shores, known as continental shelves.

Oceanic trench

Oceanic trenches are topographic depressions of the sea floor, relatively narrow in width, but very long.

Orogeny

An orogeny is an event that leads to a large structural deformation of the Earth's lithosphere (crust and uppermost mantle) due to the interaction between plate tectonics.

Plate tectonics

Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus, from the τεκτονικός "pertaining to building") is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of the Earth's lithosphere, since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3 and 3.5 billion years ago.

Subduction

Subduction is a geological process that takes place at convergent boundaries of tectonic plates where one plate moves under another and is forced or sinks due to gravity into the mantle.
