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. The movement of the Indian Plate has significant geological implications, including earthquakes and volcanic activity in the region. Understanding this plate is crucial for studying the Earth's geological processes.
