Answer:
(2) The oldest landmass, (the Peninsula part), formed was a part of the Gondwanaland.
(i) The Gondwanaland included India, Australia, South Africa and South America as one
single land mass.
a) The convection currents split the crust into a number of pieces, thus leading to the
drifting of the Indo-Australian plate after being separated from the Gondwana land, towards
north.
b) The northward drift resulted in the collision of the plate with the much larger
Eurasian Plate. Due to this collision, the sedimentary rocks which were accumulated in the
geosyncline known as the Tethys were folded to form the mountain system of western Asia and
Himalaya
