Question

explain the role of tectonic plates in the formation of Himalayas

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Heya friend,

Before the Himalayas were formed, there was Tethys Ocean. But slowly-slowly the tectonic plates of Indian and Eurasian plateau started moving towards each other and hence the Himalayas were formed .
