What forms a barrier between South Asia and the rest of Asia?
612591
The part of Asia referred to as South Asia is divided from the rest of Asia both in north and south. Towards the north, it is divided by the Great Mountain wall consisting of the Himalayan Ranges and some other smaller hill ranges running parallel to each other and all of them arise from the Pamir knot.\n\nTowards the south it is divided by the Water bodies consisting of Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean.

Kashmir is a disputed region along the border of India and Pakistan (for your question, Asia).  Aztlan is a trick question, though you may not know it.  It is considered by many to be the U.S. Southwest, however this is due only to modern political propaganda.  In truth Aztlan is a largely mythical land north of the Aztec empire, which means it could be Baja California for all we know.  No one knows where it is, but we can put it in North America for your question.  Manchuria is northeast China (Asia) , and Zion is Israel (Asia).  \n\nNow, can you name where Ulaan Bataar is?  Not to boast, but I have been there.\n\nYes, I am a "dumb" American, looking for an actually challenging question.

Yes, the Middle East is part of Asia, however differences is geography and culture, as well as natural barriers have brought historians as well as the general public to view the Middle East as a separate entity.

The Himalayan Mountains were/are still being created by compressional stresses between two different continental plates "colliding" together. This is also known as a convergent boundary.\n\nThe Indian plate is moving northward into the Eurasian plate. When two continental plates "collide" neither one will be subducted because both are of about the same density. Because of this, the Indian plate continually pushes into the Eurasian plate causing deformation of both crustal plates. The plates buckle from the pressure and stress being applied over such long periods of time and essentially they have no where to go but "up".\n\nNot to be disrespectful...but the San Andreas Fault is a transform or strike-slip fault where two blocks of rock slide horizontally past each other in opposite directions. There is no subduction taking place at all. Also, continental crust cannot be subducted under continental crust because they are of equal density.
