प्रश्न
The Himalayas are rising even now. Comment.
उत्तर
The Himalayas are relatively young mountains formed from the sediment deposited in the ancient Tethys Sea. The Tethys Sea lay between ancient landmasses of Laurasia in the north and Gondwanaland in the south about 185 million years ago. The two landmasses moved closer due to movements inside the earth and then collide with each other. This caused the seabed of the Tethys Sea to fold upwards, forming the mountains. The Himalayas are rising even now.
