India’s landmass has been pushing into Asia for millions of years. What are two consequences of this constant pushing?
Answers
Explanation:
It causes a sequence called "indentor tectonic sequence". It resulted in the creation of the Himalayas. It gives rise to earthquake because of a deadly effect known as “Domino effect”. It causes changes in the position of jet stream and westerly winds .
The pushing of these landmasses resulted in the formation of Himalaya where the rocks were highly folded and faulted
Explanation:
The Indo-Australian Plate (comprising India) and the Eurasian plate (comprising Asia) are both continental plates that are moving towards one another, sharing a continental-continental type of convergent plate boundary since the last 50 million years back. Due to this collision, the sandwich pattern formed, resulting in the formation of the large Himalayan mountain belt. The world's tallest peak named Mount Everest is located in this Himalayan mountain.
The consequences of this collision or constant pushing are as follows-
- Formation of the great Himalaya.
- Folding and faulting of the rocks due to the large compressional force
- This boundary formed the most seismic prone area, commonly known as the zone V. It is responsible for the occurrence of many earthquakes.
