Detailed explanation-1: -Folding of the geosyncline relates to the formation of the Himalayas. The geosynclinal sediments of Tethys sea were squeezed and folded into Alpine-Himalayan mountain chains due to lateral compressive forces caused by the convergence and collision of Eurasian and African-Indian continental plates during Cenozoic Era.
Detailed explanation-2: -The geosynclinal process is the process of formation of the graniticmetamorphic layer, leading to transformation of the oceanic crust into a continental crust. This process is realized within the geosynclines and is a reflection of the differentiation of matter within the earth’s upper mantle.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Himalayan mountain range and Tibetan plateau have formed as a result of the collision between the Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate which began 50 million years ago and continues today. 225 million years ago (Ma) India was a large island situated off the Australian coast and separated from Asia by the Tethys Ocean.
