Explanation:The Himalaya is the huge mountain belt that formed due to the sinking of the Indo-Australian plate under the Eurasian plate. It is comprised of rocks that are highly folded, faulted and fracture. It is marked by the presence of features such as the horns, aretes and hanging valleys.

Aretes refers to those narrow ridges of rock that eventually separates two distinct valleys.

In terms of geology, a horn is defined as the structure that forms when glaciers weathers and erodes three or more than three aretes, leaving out only a sharp-edged peak.

The hanging valleys are defined as those shallow valley that is cut by a small glacier, as a result of which the height of these valley floors is higher than the major valley that is cut by larger glaciers.

These are some of the erosional features that are produced by the glaciers.
