Answer:
Have you ever wondered how and why the Himalayan range is found to exist where it is? It is an interesting tale that unravels the mystery of creation of this range in its present form, the rising of the Oceans, the breaking up and realignment of the continents.
Pangaea meaning all land was made up of Gondwana in the South and Laurasia in the North. Laurasia that comprised North America, Europe and Asia broke away from Pangaea many million years ago and the remaining area that are known today as Australia, India, South America, Africa and Antartica became Gondwana.
A hundred and fifty million years ago, India, which was 10,000 km from the present position broke away from Gondwana land in the Antartica and moved towards the North during the Continental Drift. It took over 100 million years for the peninsular region to join the rest of the Asian mainland.
