Answer:
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.
Northern Plains were formed by the sediments brought in by three major Himalayan rivers (Ganga, Indus and Brahmaputra) and their tributaries. When these rivers flowed through the Himalayas, they eroded rocks, transported and deposited the smaller fragments of rocks in the foothills of the Himalayas.
