The Indian plate is moving at 67 mm (2.6 in) per year, and over the next 10 million years, it will travel 1,500 km (930 mi) into Asia. Approximately 20 mm per year of the India-Asia convergence is absorbed by thrusting along the Himalaya southern front. This leads to the Himalayas rising by about 5 mm annually, making them geologically active.
The Great Himalayas (also known as Greater Himalayas or Himadri) is one of the four parallel sub-ranges of the Himalayas. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is the highest in altitude and extends for about 2,300 km (1,400 mi) from northern Pakistan to the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh , passing through China , Nepal , and Bhutan .
Within its 2.02 km 2 territory, there is a difference of 140 m between its highest and lowest points, giving a ratio of 69 m for every km 2. In Australia 's 7,686,850 square kilometres (2,967,910 sq mi) area, there is only a 2,244 metres (7,362 ft) difference between the highest and lowest points, which gives a ratio of 292 micrometres (0.0115 ...
