Hey mate!!

The answer goes here.....


==============================
✴FORMATION OF HIMALAYAS ✴
==============================

↪According to the theory of tectonic plates the earth's crust was initially a single giant landmass called PANGAEA. It's Northern part was known as Angara land where as the southern part was known as Gondwana land.

The crust was slipped into number of Pieces, due to this conventional current resulting in the drifting of the Indo Australian plate after being separated from the gondwana land, towards north . These northward thrift resulted in the collision of the plate with the much larger Eurasian plate . Because of the collision, the sedimentary rocks which where accumulated in the geosyncline known as the ‘Tethys’ where folded to form the mountain system of Western, Asia and Himalayas.

• according to the plate tectonics theory, a German researcher Alfred wegener found that there was only one land called Pangea and only one ocean called panthalassa.

• the pangea was divided into two plates. the northern plate was called Angara land and southern part called Gondwana land.

• the movement of the molten material below the earth crust caused the crust to break up into a number of large fragment called tectonic plate.

• thus, leading to the drifting of the Indo – Australian plate after being separated from the gondwana land towards north.

• the northward drift resulted in the collision of the plate with the much larger Eurasian plate.

• due to this collision the sedimentary rocks which where accumulated in the geosyncline known as the tethys where folded to form a mountain.

• hence, the Himalayan mountains formed.
