[3] It was pushed below the crust of the Eurasian plate and this led to the formation of the Tibetan Plateau and the Himalayas.

It is possible that the impact might have caused the delamination of the Indian plate beneath the Tibetan Plateau, a process which is still continuing.

[4] The Kshiroda plate has great significance in the geology of South Asia.

The subduction of the plate, which occurred before 40 million years ago, caused the upliftment of the Tibetan Plateau.

The Tethys Sea bed which used to rest on the Kshiroda plate was pushed above the Eurasian landmass leading to the formation of the earliest mountains of the Himalayas,[5] while the rest of the mountains were formed due to the folding of the Indian and Eurasian continental landmasses.
