N2 - The present research has been particularly mentioned in response to plate shift toward north, northwest direction in the area of the Darjeeling Himalaya in West Bengal. The Himalaya range is well-known as the highest and youngest mountain range of the world. In the Great Himalayan terrain, the outer Himalaya shows the sign of dynamic tectonics. Outer Himalaya and lesser Himalaya parted by Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) show the history of active tectonics in the region. The shape of the Darjeeling Himalaya has been changing as a result of continuous movement of tectonic plates of the Himalayas. As the plates shift across the outside as far as the planet, it strikes each and every one, causing enormous influence slipup lines. Occasionally, plates slide attached each other, whereas afterward they rumple frequently form the Himalayas.
