Detailed explanation-1: -Due to the internal forces of the Earth, Gondwana broke further. The Indo-Australian plate separated from Gondwana and started drifting northwards. It collided with another plate known as the Eurasian plate. The collision resulted in the folding of the edges of the two plates and the Himalayas were thus formed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Part of Hall of Planet Earth. Forty million years ago, the continent of India, which was being carried northward by the Indo-Australian plate, collided with Asia.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Indian Peninsula drifted towards the north and finally collided with the much larger Eurasian Plate. As a result of this collision, the sedimentary rocks which were accumulated in the geosynclines (known as Tethys) got folded and formed the mountain systems of the West Asia and Himalayas.
