The movement of tectonic plates has resulted in the formation of the Himalayas. The breaking up of Gondwana land led to the Indo-Australian plate colliding with the larger Eurasian plate.  Due to this collision, the sedimentary rocks which were accumulated in the Tethys folded to become the mountain system of Western Asia and Himalayas.
