Answers
Answer: This is whatever I remember from my previous classes so, forgive me if there is any error...
According to the theory of plate tectonics, there are 7 major and some minor plates on the earth's crust that keep moving.
The movement of these plates have changed the position and size of the continents over millions of years. Such movements have also influenced the evolution of the present landform features of India.
Broadly, plate movements are classified into three types
- some plates come towards each other and form convergent boundary.
-Some plates move away from each other and form divergent boundary.
- In the event of two plates coming together, they may either collide and crumble, or one may slide under the other. At times, they may also move horizontally past each other and form transform boundary .
hope this helped :)
