The Indian Plate is a tectonic plate located beneath the Indian subcontinent and the surrounding ocean. It is a major plate that is moving northward, colliding with the Eurasian Plate. This collision is responsible for the formation of the Himalayas, the highest mountain range in the world. The Indian Plate is part of the larger Indo-Australian Plate, which also includes the Australian continent. Its movement has significant geological implications, including earthquakes and volcanic activity in the region. Understanding the dynamics of the Indian Plate is crucial for studying the geology and seismic activity of South Asia.
