Question

in points Answer. describe how the Himalayas were formed?

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

Here is how the Himalayas were formed:

• The Earth's crust was initially a large, super - continent called Pangaea.
• Pangaea split into several lands forming Angaraland and Gondwanaland.
• The Indo - Australian Plate broke from the Gondwana and drifted towards the north.
• Due to the collision with the Eurasian Plate, the sedimentary rocks which were accumulated called the Tethys, were folded inward forming Western Asia and the Himalayas.
