@nobelseries: Millions of years ago, an enormous ocean separated India from the Asian continent, where the Himalayas stand today. But the Indian Plate began moving northward until it collided with Eurasia, slowly compressing and uplifting the Earth’s crust. This gigantic collision is still happening today and has created some of the highest mountains on Earth. Nepal lies right at the heart of this extraordinary geological transformation. #Himalayas #Nepal #Geology #Science #Earth
