Question

Q6. What are tectonic plates?
Q.7.Name the three types of plate boundaries. Which one of them lies in the Himalayan belt​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

6)A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. Plate size can vary greatly, from a few hundred to thousands of kilometers across; the Pacific and Antarctic Plates are among the largest.

7)The three types of plate boundaries are- divergent plate boundary, convergent plate boundary and transform fault boundary. The Himalayas lies in the convergent plate boundaries,which is formed by the convergence of the Indian and Eurasian plates.

When two continental plates converge, they smash together and create mountains. The amazing Himalaya Mountains are the result of this type of convergent plate boundary.

Answer:

Q6) Plate tectonics is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of Earth's lithosphere, since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3.3 and 3.5 billion

Q7) The three types of plate boundaries are- divergent plate boundary, convergent plate boundary and transform fault boundary. The Himalayas lies in the convergent plate boundaries,which is formed by the convergence of the Indian and Eurasian plates.
