Question

how zagros and himalayan mountains formed

Answer 1

The Zagros mountain range was formed by the collision of the Eurasian tectonic plate and the Arab tectonic plate. As a result of this collision and the resulting great pressure, the mountains rose in those areas and sedimentary rocks were formed, which are clearly visible in the Zagros mountain range.

India was a floating island off the coast of Australia, and while the continent of Pangea began to disintegrate, the island of India began to move north about 6,000 km until it collided with Asia 40 to 50 million years ago, and then the Indian land began to settle under the Asian continent, which led to the emergence of Himalaya Mountains
