None in the given options are contributing the uplifting of the himalalyas. Hence option (e) is correct. 2. Density is not evidence for motion of the earths crust. Hence option (e) is correct answer. 3.Most mountain ranges are made of extruded magma. Hence option (a) is correct answer. 4. Granite can be metamorphosed into gneiss. Hence option (a) is correct answer. True or false: False. Because when the basaltic crust melts, sedimentary layers float upward because they are less dense then that of igneous rock.
