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: -Collision of which two Plates led to the formation of fold mountains in Tethya Sea? Collision of Indo-Australian plate with Eurasian plate led to the formation of fold mountains in the Tethys Sea.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
