The subcontinental Indian plate crashed into the Asian continental plate with the Indian plate subducting under the denser Asian plate. As a result of the steady thrust, the Himalayans rose up between both plates. The Indian plate is still subducting under the Asian plate and the Himalayans are rising 2.5 cm each year as a result.

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.

The extremely cold wind blowing out from central Asia in winter cannot reach India because of the position of the Himalayas on the northern border. Major rivers of Northern India which rise from the Himalayas are perennial.
