The correct answer is option 1: Himalayas. The ancient Tethys Sea was located between the continents of Africa and Eurasia. Over millions of years, the sediments and deposits at the bottom of the Tethys Sea were subjected to immense geological forces, including tectonic plate movements. These forces caused the sediments to fold, buckle, and uplift, forming a mountain range. This process is known as orogeny. The Himalayas, which are the highest mountain range on Earth, were created as a result of the collision between the Indian subcontinent and the Eurasian Plate. The folding and uplift of the ancient Tethys Sea deposits led to the formation of the majestic Himalayan mountain range.
