Q1. The Himalayas were formed by the collision of which two tectonic plates?
Answer: Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate
Explanation: The Himalayas formed about 50 million years ago when the Indian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate, pushing up the Tethys Sea sediments into the world's highest mountain range. This collision continues today, making the Himalayas grow by about 5 mm per year.
