Answer:

The Himalayas were formed when the Indian plate moved towards the Eurasian plate. The movement of these two plates forced sedimentary rocks on the seabed into a series of folds, much the way a paper folds when pushed together. This is how the Himalayas were formed.

The Himalayas is a young fold mountain range formed about 40 to 50 years ago.
