Answer to Question 1

Answer: Because the Indian plate is slamming into the Eurasian plate and causing mountain building.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1. Where any piece of nonsubductable continental crust, usually thick continental crust, or volcanic-arc crust enters a subduction zone at the edge of a continent, it is thrusted onto the edge of the continent.
2. If a continent follows subducting oceanic lithosphere into a trench, the buoyant continent cannot subduct and instead collides with the volcanic arc on the overriding plate. Then, a new subduction zone forms that faces in the opposite direction. The arc transfers from one plate to another and becomes part of the continent.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
