1.The oldest landmass was a part of Gondwana land,which included India,Australia and South Africa.
2.Conventional currents split the crust into many pieces,leading to the drifting of the Indo-Australian plate towards the North.
3.The northward drift resulted in the collision with the much larger Eurasian plate.
4.Due to the collision,sedimentary rocks accumulated in the Tethys sea and were folded to form the mountain system of the Western Asia and the Himalayas

describe how the himalayas were formed
The Himalayas were formed as a result of the collision between the Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate. As a result of this collision, the sedimentary rocks which were settled in the large-scale depression in the Earth's crust called Tethys were folded and formed the Himalayas.
