Answer:
hi mate here's ur answer...
Explanation:
the Himalayas were found when:
- about 200 million years ago a single Giant landmass called the pagea broke into two parts (a). Lauresia(northern part) and (b). Gondwanaland (southern part).
- Later, conventional currents broke the crust of Gondwanaland into a number of plates.
- One of the broken plates called the Indo-Australian plate drifted towards the north and collided with much larger Eurasian plate.
- Due to collision, the sedimentary rocks of enclosed oceans were folded to formed so called Himalayas and other mountains system of western and Central Asia..
