Himalayas were formed by the upliftment of the sediments from tethys sea
Explanation:
- The Himalayas were formed by the collision of the Indian Plate and the Eurasian plates. As India got separated from the Australian landmass at the time of the splitting of the Gondwana southern landmass
- This lead to the crashing of the Indian plate with the Eurasian plate and this lead to the upliftment of the sediments in the Tethys sea.
- Since then the Himalayan has been rising at a rate of 1.5 cm per year. This mountain building process took place by the folding and faulting and thus Himalayas go the name as young fold mountains.
- These himalayan mountains are characterised as the loftiest and most rugged mountain chains in the world.
