About this document
1.3. Relief & Structure by Unique Sr is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Himalayas formed from the collision of the Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate, beginning 40 to 50 million years ago, resulting in the uplift of the Tethys Sea sediments. The mountain range consists of various structures including the Greater Himalayas, Lesser Himalayas, and Shiwaliks, each characterized by distinct geological features and elevations. The ongoing tectonic activity continues to shape the region, with the Indian Plate moving northward at approximately five centimeters per year.
