The History of forming the Himalayas:
Himalayas, the land of the God! It divides the Tibetan plateau, from the great Indian subcontinent.It all started 225 million years ago, in geologic time. The Pangea, which means “all lands”. That was a supercontinent formed a single landmass on Earth. Here, India was a large island, and situated off the Australian coast, separated from Asia by the Tethys Ocean. The Pangea started breaking up around 200 million years ago, and India started to drift northward, towards Asia. Around 80 million years ago India was still moving towards the Asian continent, at a speed of around 9 to 16 cm per year. The northward drift of the Indian continental plate slowed down to 6 cm per year from around 40 million years ago. This slowdown was interpreted as the beginning of the collision between the Eurasian and Indian continental plates, the start of the Himalayan uplift, and the disappearance of the Tethys Ocean. The drifting of the Indian continental plate against the Eurasian plate caused the latter, to crumple and buckle above the former plate. The folding and faulting caused by the compressional forces of the continental crust, caused it to thicken, pushing up the Himalayas, and the Tibetan Plateau. Today, the Indian plate continues to be driven horizontally, at the Tibetan Plateau, which forces the plateau to continue to move upwards. The Indian plate is still moving at 67 mm per year, and over the next 10 million years, it will travel about 1,500 km into Asia. About 20 mm per year of the India-Asia convergence is absorbed by thrusting, along the Himalaya southern front. This leads to the Himalayas rising by about 5 mm per year, making them geologically active. The movement of the Indian plate into the Asian plate also makes this region seismically active, leading to earthquakes from time to time.
The Himalayan range is one of the youngest mountain ranges on the planet, and consists mostly of lifted sedimentary and metamorphic rock. According to the modern theory of plate tectonics, its formation is a result of a continental collision, along the convergent boundary, between the Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. The Arakan Yoma highlands in Myanmar, and the Andaman Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal, were also formed as a result of this collision. That was the million years olden story of forming the Himalayas.

Thank you for this. Wish this was a full scale documentary which described all the peaks in detail including details of current structure, population and livelihood
Very majestic mountain range.
That's it.. I just wanted such descriptions throughout the video.. Nice documentary. Keep it up. Thanks a lot.
Great

What happened to water in Tethys Sea
The thick accent is difficult for me to understand.
Okay
In which geological period himalaya was formed?

In the Late Cretaceous (seventy million years ago) the Indian plate began its very rapid northward drift and the beginning of continent-continent tectonic interaction starting to form Central Himalayas.

Namaraj Rimal your Nepal is nothing but just a state and kingdom of ancient Bharat. All the Himalayas belongs to India. And even today most of Himalayas are in India.. Nepal was also a state of India. It is all about Bharat, no Nepal, no Pakistan.. Whole of Himalayas from Afghanistan to Kashmir to Nepal to Tibet to Arunachal Pradesh belongs to India, that is a sweet truth..🚩🚩🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🙏

@@madansilpakar9497 Bharatvarsh has existed for millennia dear under different names. India, Bharat, Aryavrat , Hindustan are all one and same thing. Even before the Himalayas were there India existed as a unique separate geographical entity.. Remember it was the Indian subcontinent not Nepal that crashed into Eurasia which led to the creation of Himalayas. Any geologist will tell you that. So giant India pre exists even the Himalayas. Tiny Nepal on the other hand is only a bye product of the creation of the Himalayas . Without Himalayas Nepal is nothing . Zero. India has on the other by moving into Asia has been responsible for creation of the Himalays that you are so proud of. I hope this clears the cobwebs in your mind.
