Read the following passage and answer the following questions. World land forms originated from two giant lands namely Angara land (Laurasia) and Gondwana land. The Indian peninsula was part of Gondwana land. Over 200 million years ago Gondwana land split into pieces and the peninsular Indian plate moved towards North-East and collided into the much larger Eurasian Plate (Angara land). Owing to the collision and immense compression force, mountains evolved through a folding process over million of years. The present form of the Himalayas is a result of this process. The breaking off from the northern corners of the peninsular plateau led to the formation of a large Basin. In due course of time this basin slowly got filled with sediments deposited by the Himalayan rivers from north and peninsular rivers from south. This created the extensive, flat northern plains of India. The Indian landmass displays great relief variations. The peninsular plateau is one of the most ancient land blocks on the earth's surface. 1. Name the two land forms from which the world originated?
