Hint: The Himalayan mountain range and Tibetan plateau are the result of a 50 million-year-old collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates, which is still ongoing. The Himalayas are a mountain range that runs through India, Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan, and China.

Complete answer:
The Himalaya, often known as the Himalayas, is a mountain range in South and East Asia that separates the Indian subcontinent's plains from the Tibetan Plateau. Many of the world's tallest peaks are found in this range, including Mount Everest, which lies on the Nepal-China border. Over fifty mountains over 7,200 meters (23,600 feet) in elevation are found in the Himalayas, including 10 of the fourteen 8,000-meter summits. The tallest peak outside of Asia (Aconcagua in the Andes) stands at 6,961 meters (22,838 feet).

The Himalayas are divided into four mountain ranges: the Shivalik Hills in the south, the Lower Himalayan Range in the middle, the Great Himalayas in the north, and the Tibetan Himalayas in the south. The Karakoram is widely considered to be its own mountain range, apart from the Himalayas.

Trans Himalaya zones -
Because of the collision with the Eurasian plate, the Trans Himalaya is formed. In the states of Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh, this Zone is the country's northernmost region. It is a Himalayan extension of the Tibetan plateau.

The following are the main Himalayan ranges:
- Pir Panjal Range (part of middle Himalayas)
- Dhauladhar Range Madhya Himalaya
- Ladakh Range
- Mahabharata range (the middle Himalayas in Nepal)
- East Karakoram Range
- Zanskar Range

The Trans Himalaya zones are located to the north of the Great Himalaya, on the Tibetan border.

Note: The Greater Himalayas, also known as the Himadri, the Lesser Himalayas, also known as the Himachal, and the Shivalik hills, which make up the foothills, make up the Himalayas.
