5. Earth composed of three lithological layers i.e. crust, mantle and core
1. crust is upper most layer of the earth.
2. Mantle lies under the crust.
3. Core is inner most part of earth.
Internal structure of earth

6. Lithospheric plates
Earth crust is divided into two types of tectonic plates
1. Oceanic plate and continental plates
2. These plates are moving over semi-liquid asthenosphere of upper mantle
3. The collision of these plate trigger the processes of development of
mountains by causing vast volcanic eruption or uplifting of lithospheric
crust

7. Types of plate collision
1. Oceanic-continental plate collision
2. Oceanic-oceanic plate collision
3. continental-continental plate collision

8. Development of mountains in Pakistan

9.  In Pakistan mountains were developed by continental-continental
collision
 Two continental plates Indian plate and Eurasian plate were collided
about 65 to 55 million years ago.
 This one of most famous collision in world
 World top 5 highest mountains were resulted from this collision
