Detailed explanation-1: -According to this theory, the Himalayas were formed from a great geosyncline called the Tethys Sea. The Tethys Sea lied between the Eurasian and the Indo-Australian plate. The thick pile of sediments in the Tethys Sea were subjected to constant compression.
Detailed explanation-2: -This immense mountain range began to form between 40 and 50 million years ago, when two large landmasses, India and Eurasia, driven by plate movement, collided.
Detailed explanation-3: -Himalayas are the young fold mountains that at one time are believed to lie inside the Tethys sea.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
Detailed explanation-5: -Due to this collision, the sedimentary rocks which were accumulated in the geosyncline known as the Tethys were folded to form the mountain system of western Asia and Himalaya.
