I want to know the answer to the following question:
When did the single tectonic plate break into separate plates?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The Tethys was later squeezed between colliding plates causing the formation of mountain ranges called the Alpide belt, from Gibraltar through the Himalayas to Indonesia—a process that began at the end of the Mesozoic and continues into the present.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
