Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Himalayas were formed on a convergent plate boundary. They were created when there was a collision between the Indian and Eurasian plate. This process is not complete and they are still rising at a rate of approximately 1cm per year.
Detailed explanation-3: -Introduction. Sometimes an entire ocean closes as tectonic plates converge, causing blocks of thick continental crust to collide. A collisional mountain range forms as the crust is compressed, crumpled, and thickened even more.
