Explain the origins of the Himalayas.

Earlier their just existed a single piece of land (instead of many as we know) which were referred to as the ‘Pangea’ surrounded by water bodies referred to as the ‘Panthalasa’ which got divided into two parts namely the Angara land (Laurasia) and the Gondwana land as the northern and the southern part respectively separated by the sea called the Tethys sea stretching itself towards the east-west direction. The rivers from these two land bodies deposited their silts along the Tethys sea which later along with the northward movement of Gondwana pushed this deposited silt upwards resulting in the formation of gigantic folds due to the collision of the Indo-Australian plate and the Eurasian plate which are now known as the Himalayas.
