Question

what are the three types of plate boundaries?Which one of them lies in the Himalayan belt?

Answer 1

A convergent plate boundary is a tectonic boundary where two plates are moving away from each otherand a new crust is formed.

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

• The Himalayan orogeny could be possible due to the collision of the Indian subcontinent that broke off from the Australian continent and collide with that of the Eurasian continent and the upwelling of the Tethys sea created the sedimental motion that gradually gave birth to the Himalayas, in the northern peninsular.

• The Collision was a part of the destructive plate margin and as the Indian plate overrides the Eurasian plate thus forms a  conventional margin. The three plates that were involved in the collision of this belt were the Asiatic plate, Eurasian plate, Indian plate which began 50 million years ago and continues even today.  

• Tibetan plateau is also a by-product of the collision.
