According to this theory the crust of the earth has been formed out of the seven major and minor plates.
Plate tectonics is a systematic theory representing the large-scale movement of seven big plates and the actions of a substantial number of miniature plates of the Earth's lithosphere.
The Himalayas are perceived as the young fold ranges. Ironically the worlds highest hill ranges are all young encounters i.e., developed in contemporary geological point measure (10- 25 million years) eg. The Himalayas. While old hills are superficial mountains with compressed lengths due to consecutive corrosion since times in the geological timescale. For instance, 200 million years ago such as Urals and Aravallis.
In short, Development of Himalayas is essentially the consequence of plate tectonics. As per serving tectonic system different type of landforms patterns emerging from plate concentration or divergence in plate margins. Fold mountains are the outgrowth of convergent plate margin of 2 continental plates forming Synclines and Anticlines.
