Around 70 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous period, the northwards-moving Indo-Australian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate, which resulted in the formation of the Himalayas The Yellow River first formed sometime during the the Late Miocene, Pliocene or Pleistocene,[7][8] as a result of the Tibetan Plateau being uplifted.[7][9][10]
