They formed when India and Eurasia collided by plate movement. The rock densities were similar so they couldn't process through subduction, so instead they pushed upward forming the Himalayan Mountains.

Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Norgay Tenzing first climbed Mt Everest in May 1953. There are many people who climbed the Himalayas before them, but the duo reached the summit first.

Himalaya was the highest mountain in the world. Also Mt Everest was the biggest mountain in the world.

How did India benefit from having the Himalaya mountains for its northern border?

Asked by Wiki User

They block the rain bearing monsoon winds from the Arabian sea and the bay of Bengal. Therefore, the North Indian plains receive plenty of rainfall.

There is a lot of snowfall in the higher regions of the mountains. The snow melts in summer. The rivers like the Ganga and Brahmaputra which rise among these ranges are fed by the waters of the melting snow. These rivers never dry up in the hot summer months.

They protect India from the cold, biting winds blowing from North Asia. So, the winters of North India are milder than those beyond the mountains.

These mountains with their high peaks and deep ravines are difficult to cross. Therefore, they prevented many invaders from easily invading our country. Thus, the role of Himalayas as a guard of our Northern boundary is very important.

The Himalayan rivers bring rich silt from the mountains and deposit in the plains below. This silt has made the northern plains very fertile.

There are thick forests on the Himalayas. They supply us with valuable timber, medicinal herbs, honey and wax etc. They also provide a home to innumerable birds and animals.

Why is the Himalayas the youngest mountain but also the tallest?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Short answer: Erosion.

Long answer: The Himalayas are actually the tallest because they're the youngest. They started forming around 70 million years ago, when the Indo-Australian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate. Basically, India collided with Tibet and they are still rising at about 5mm a year. As a comparison, you can look at the oldest mountains. The Appalachian range in the eastern U.S. began forming about 480 million years ago and are subsequently very rounded and worn by the effects of erosion. Hope this helps!
