HEY MATE!!!
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. 225 million years ago (Ma) India was a large island situated off the Australian coast and separated from Asia by the Tethys Ocean.The formation of the Himalayas is the result of a collision of India with Asia along the convergent boundary. There were powerful earth movement between the Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate that resulted in the creation of the Himalayan range.
