I have searched the net multiple times over the years to understand the formation and geology of the Himalayas. Being a non-geology student I found it almost impossible to understand it until I came across this video. I appreciate the time and effort you have spent in trying to explain this so simply and clearly with animation etc. thank you and I look forward to learning more from this channel.
This explanation of formation of Himalayas is the best one, till now I was under impression that full himalayan range is due to the collision only. I understood today that there are three different types of mountains. Very good video...!
Sir ur the best geography teacher ever ..ur animation and detailed explain is beyond everything...thanku...thanku for ur effort..we need more content from u ❤❤❤
I think I am at very right place,Thank you so much sir,not from anywhere I can understand this topic the way it easily fitted in my mind through this lecture 👍🏻
great lecture and indeed animation helpeda lot to grasp it all even better. i m preparing for upsc and discovered this channel now so would also recommend to my friends. thank you sir and keep doing the great work
Time periods for specific upliftment are not specific reason being different regions faced upliftment I'm slight difference in time, to give a specific time for each upliftment whole of Himalayas is neither accurate nor does it gives any conceptual value. The focus here was to explain concept
I hv two questions 1. What happened to the plate which are at bottom, which subdcted under euratian plate 2. Is this movement is still continuing and if yes, what will be its consequences in future... If no, why n how did it stop?
Malda fault and its formation is explained in video on peninsular plateau. however can be more clear what role of malda fault are you talking? Thanks for watching the video
Meghalya plateau is raised portion within the foredeep, in the north there is brahmaputra plains a foredeep. In south we have surma plains or Bangladesh plain regions on west we have gang n brahmaputra plains, even on east except for a narrow portion we have brahmaputra plains. So meghalya plateau is surrounded by fordeep
Sir a small doubt . When you've mentioned abt indian plate subducting to eurasian plate it means the mantle not the crust right??? As per the Continent-Continent convergence??
Yes you are almost right, see a plate can have oceanic and continental part, like our India plate has continental part which forms Himalayas but same Indian plate also has oceanic part under India ocean which subducts in Sunda trench, so it is right way to say that Indian plate subducts under Eurasian plate however for oceanic part whole plate subducts and for continental part only mantle subducts
nice lecture sir , but does subduction takes place when there is a collision between two continental boundaries? i have read that no subduction takes place in such cases
Hi dear, great question, but the continental crus does not subduct, however mantle portion of continental plates do subduct even in continent continent collision. if you see closely the animation you will notice that for india continental plate only mantle is subduction,while for tethys see a part of sea floor is also subduction. for more clarity watch this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_o_LCUlfuxA.html
