The Himalayas are still rising due to tectonic plate collision.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
5 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Himalayas are still rising due to tectonic plate collision?

Unclear. One earth-science Q&A states the Himalayas are indeed rising, and a USGS page links the India-Eurasia collision to the onset of rapid Himalayan uplift. Neither source directly states that the range is still rising today because of ongoing plate collision.
