How does plate tectonics theory help in explaining the formation of Himalaya?
Main Body
Plate tectonics theory claims that there are various plates of the crust on top of asthenosphere which move due to convectional currents of magma. Movement of plates: Point of meeting of plates - mantle core area Plate tectonics theory helping explain formation of Himalaya: 1) Analysis has shown that the Indian plate has delivered are slab that called have been a proof of setup idea. 2) There is a fault between the Indian plate and Eurasian plate which collides and causes earthquakes in North India. 3) The height of Himalaya has been rising and has increased by a few inches. 4) The Himalaya are parallel to the lines plates.
