The Indian peninsula drifted towards the north.
And it finally collided with much larger Eurasian plate.
As a result of all this collision, the sedimentary rocks which are accumulated in the thethys got folded and formed the young fold mountain system .....

Hello!!!
Heres ur answer!!!
The earth is composed of several plates. In the past there was only one huge land mass or the Pangea. This Pangea broke up and drifted apart from one another. The Gondwana land was the southern part of this Pangea. Due to conventional current, this Gondwana land was further broken down and split into several parts. One part of this Gondwana, the Indo-Australian plate started drifting towards the North. As a result it collided with the Eurasian plate in the North. This collision caused the sedimentary deposition of the Tethys to get folded forming the Himalayas.
200 millions ago earths landmasses were combined in a single continent called pangaea.This supercontinent divided into two landmass -
1)laurasia
2)Gondwanaland
The two landmasses were constately heading towardseach other.It compression led to a shrinking of the sea and rise a chain of island called Himalayas.
The Indian Peninsula drifted towards the north and finally collided with the much larger Eurasian Plate. As a result of this collision, the sedimentary rocks whichwere accumulated in the geosynclines (known as Tethys) got folded and formed the mountain systems of the West Asia and Himalaya.
himalyas were formed due to conventional current.

Many scholars have expressed their views regarding the formation of Himalaya. According to them earth consists of giant plates called tectonic plates on which oceans and continents are resting. There is a most accepted view that Himalayas have come out from the Tethys sea. Around 200 million years ago, a Tethys sea stretched along the latitudinal area presently occupied by the Himalayas. Around this period, the super continent Pangea began to gradually split into different land masses and move apart in different directions by the movement of these tectonoic plates.
As a result, rivers from both the northern Eurasian land mass (called Angara) and the southern Indian land mass (called Gondwana) started depositing large amounts of sediments into the shallow sea that was the Tethys. The two land masses, the Eurasian and the Indian sub-continent, moved closer and closer.
The initial mountain building process started about seventy million years ago, when the two land masses (or plates) began to collide with each other. As a result, the already shallow seabed rapidly folded folded and was raised into longitudinal ridges and valleys.
Soon afterwards, about 65 million years ago, came the second phase of mountain building. The bed of the Tethys started rising again. The sea retreated, and the sea bed was elevated into high mountain ranges of the Himalaya.
These are the many ways how Himalayas were formed.
