Explanation

The Himalayan mountain range was formed by the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate around 50 million years ago. This tectonic collision continues even today, causing the Himalayas to rise slowly each year.

हिमालय पर्वत श्रृंखला का निर्माण लगभग 50 मिलियन वर्ष पहले भारतीय प्लेट और यूरेशियन प्लेट के टकराव से हुआ था। यह टेक्टोनिक टकराव आज भी जारी है, जिसके कारण हिमालय हर साल धीरे-धीरे ऊपर उठ रहा है।
