Himalayan-type Orogeny

Himalayan-Type Orogeny is a continental collisional orogeny characterized by the intense crustal shortening, thickening, and uplift resulting from the ongoing convergence between the Indian and Eurasian plates, forming high-grade metamorphic belts, extensive thrust systems, and a doubly vergent mountain belt without significant arc magmatism.
