<h2>Answer:</h2>

When Indian plate collided with Eurasian plate created Himalayan Mountains.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The cause for the Himalayan Mountains to exist is due to Continental drift. This is caused by the collision of Indian and Eurasian plates typically known as continent-continent collision. Enormous amount of pressure is created in this situation to give rise to a gigantic mountain uplift.

During this process, sedimentary rocks got folded in a large scale in the Earth's crust called Tethys. The maximum elevation in this region is Mount Everest of 8848 m which is the highest point on the Earth. This mountain region along with Tibet plateau provides water to one-fifth of the world's population.

Earths crust is broken into plates called tectonic plates.  the plates move bc of  convection currents in the earths mantle.   convection currents are the movement caused with a liquid by the propencity of hotter and less dense matter to rise, and colder, thicker material to sink under the effect of gravitational pull, which as a result results in the transfer of heat.  As a result these are moved by the heat composed by the common natural blight of radioactive component in the earth.
