Detailed explanation-1: -Answer. Explanation: The Himalayan mountains form an unstable zone because they are ‘young mountains’ which means they increase their height every year.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Himalayan mountains are mainly the shale upwelling of the sea. They are more fragile than they look. The Himalaya is a fragile mountain range that is still rising as the Indian plate continues to push into the Asian plate. The mountains are mainly the shale upwelling of the sea, which makes them quite unstable.
Detailed explanation-3: -Geologists generally thought that the Himalayas formed 55 million years ago in a single continental collision – when the Neotethys Ocean plate subducted under the southern edge of Eurasia and the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates collided.
