The Himalayas were formed through the collision of the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. This collision began around 50 million years ago and is ongoing, resulting in the uplift of the Himalayan mountain range. The immense pressure and forces created by the two plates pushing against each other caused the land to rise and form the highest mountain range in the world.
