The Himalayan mountain range and Tibetan plateau have formed as a result of the collision between the Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate which began 50 million years ago and continues today. ... These scraped-off sediments are what now form the Himalayan mountain range.

Formation of the Himalayas :-

  • The Himalayas were formed around 70 million years ago, when the Indo-Australian plate collided with the Eurasian plate at a convergent/destructive plate boundary.

  • This has caused fold mountains to form as there are no subductions of the plates that could be seen from the absence of volcanoes in the Himalayas.

  • The Himalayas are constantly being formed and changed through tectonic plates shifting under the Earth's surface.

  • It is an extremely slow process which occurs over millions of years.

  • From the viewpoint of geology, the Himalayan Mountains form an unstable zone.
