6. The Islands.
The Himalayas, the Karakoram Mountains and the North eastern mountain ranges together form the Northern mountains . the northern mountains are formed about 40 to 50 million years ago: The two large landmasses, India and Eurasia, driven by plate movement, collided. As a result, the sediments accumulated in Tethys Sea (brought by rivers) were compressed, squeezed and series of folds were formed, one behind the other, giving birth to folded mountains of the Himalayas.
The Himalayan Mountains form the northern mountain region of India. They are the highest mountain ranges in the world. These mountain ranges start from Pamir Knot in the west and extend up to Paranuchal in the east. Youngest & Loftiest mountain range of the world.
