‘Somalaya’: Know about the mountains that will substitute the Himalayas in long term
Himalayas, the world’s tallest mountains, are a rather new attribute on the timescale of planet Earth. They commenced forming 50 million decades ago when two items of the Earth’s crust, called plates, colliding with each and every other. About 200 million yrs from now, a new mountain range is envisioned to arise in equivalent manner, as for every analysis by geologists at the Utrecht College posted previously in 2021. The scientists, led by geologist Dr Douwe van Hinsbergen, call these mountains of the long term as the ‘Somalaya’ mountain vary. 

About 225 million yrs in the past, India was a significant island off the coast of Australia and an overall ocean utilized to lie in between it and Asia. But a method termed plate tectonics made it a portion of Asia and shaped the fantastic Himalayas, as land buckled up below colliding forces.

By evaluating attributes frequently discovered in mountain belts, the experts formulated what they identified as the ‘rules of mountain building’. Then by making use of specialised software program they carried out predictions of the mountains that will form in the subsequent 200 million many years. The predictions are centered on Somalia breaking off from Africa and colliding with India, as is expected dependent on evaluation of plate tectonic facts.
The scientists consider that the mountain variety that will variety as a consequence of this collision, the so-called ‘Somalaya’ mountains, will the “Himalayas of their day”. Regretably, none of the people at present dwelling will be in a position to witness and validate this in their lifetime.

The scientists also discovered out that northwest India will initially get buried all over 50 kilometers deep under Somalia throughout the collision procedure. But it will re-arise as Somalia rotates. In geological background, this kind of a system can be noticed to have happened in western Norway some 400 million yrs back.
