ORIGIN OF HIMALAYAS
Answers
Answer:
The Himalayas were formed as a result of the collision between the Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate. ... As a result of this collision, the sedimentary rocks which were settled in the large-scale depression in the Earth's crust called Tethys were folded and formed the Himalayas
Marl my answer as brainliest.
Answer:Origin: The highest and youngest mountain range in the world, the Himalayas are a geologic marvel that occurred when the Indo-Australian plate collided into the underbelly of the Eurasian plate, about 70 million years ago. The Tethys Sea that had existed in the location, disappeared, and as the Indian landmass continued to ram into Asia, the soft sediments that had lain at the bottom of the Tethys Sea were pushed up in a series of gigantic folds of the Earth's lithosphere, to reach a height of 8850m straight from sea level. Since the Indo-Australian plate is still moving-at 67 mm per year-the Himalayas are still rising, making the area geologically unstable and seismically active. It is predicted that in the next 10 million years, the Indo-Australian plate will move 1,500 kilometres forward into Asia.
