When were the seychelles formed?

Answer 1

The Seychelles were formed through volcanic activity and the movement of tectonic plates, with their geological origins dating back around 65 million years. The islands are part of the Indian ocean and became more defined as the Indian and African tectonic plates separated. The archipelago was first discovered by Europeans in the mid-18th century, with the first recorded landing by the French in 1742. The Seychelles gained independence from Britain in 1976.
