Indo-Australian Plate

The Indo-Australian Plate is a large section of Earth's crust that includes India, Australia, and surrounding regions. It is one of the planet's major tectonic plates, meaning it constantly moves at a slow pace, about a few centimeters per year. This movement causes geological activity such as earthquakes, mountain formation, and volcanic eruptions. The plate's boundaries interact with neighboring plates like the Eurasian Plate, leading to the uplift of the Himalayas and seismic activity in the region. Understanding this plate helps explain the Earth's dynamic surface and the natural events experienced in parts of Asia and Australia.
