Pllllzzzzz..............................................................__________________________"why the altitudinal variation of himalay ranges are greater in the eastern half than those in the western half".. Give reason ?? plllzz ;'(

Answer 1

The Himalayas were formed due to the collision of the Indian plate with the Eurasian plate generally believed to be 5 crore years ago(50 m.y.a.). But some estimates put the formation at 50 crore, stating that the Himalayas were formed even before the Collison.

But regardless of this, the reason for the Eastern side having higher elevation is the same…

The Indian plate was moving from the South-West to the North-East as shown in the below illustration. This is why the Eastern landmass has raised more than the Western one.

Answer 2

Answer--

=>This happens due to the fault in the tectonic plates.The Himalayas were formed due to tectonic plate movements, thus are known as fold mountains.

=>The fault is greater at the eastern portion, thus the mountains are greater on that side.
