❤️→→→There are seven tectonic plates formed on the earth surface.These drift in different directions due to convection currents .The indo-australian plate and eusasian plate are converging plates.
almost 5 crore years ago,the northern edge of the indo-australian plate was pushed beneath the Eurasian plate.Due to this convergence ,the sediments of tethys sea were folded to the form the Himalayas mountain.←←←❤️
