The conventional currents split the crust into a number of pieces leading to the drifting of the indo Australian plate after being separated from Gondwanaland,drifting North . the northward drift resulted in the collision of the plate with much larger Eurasian plate. due to this collision, the sedimentary rocks which were accumulated in the geosyncline known as Tethys, were folded to form the mountain system of Western Asia and himalaya
The Himalaya Mountains were formed from a collision of tectonic plates. The mountain formation primarily occurred in three phases that began about 50 million to 70 million years ago and most recently occurred about 600,000 years ago. The tectonic plates still are moving, and the mountain range continues to rise; the movement occurs at a rate of about 2 centimeters per year.
