Q:

Extrusive volcanoes are not found in which one of the following mountains?

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Himalayas

Volcanic mountains are very common along the destructive plate boundaries i.e. Oceanic-continental plate boundaries which are yet uncovered in the rock folded mountains formed due to continental –to continental plate collision.The Himalayas are also a plate-to-plate collision tectonic boundary. In this case, the Indian Plate [of the Indian Subcontinent] is colliding head-on with the Eurasian Plate. Both plates are comprised of continental lithospheric crust, so there is no appreciable distinction in density.
