explain indian plate ?
Answer: The India Plate or Indian Plate is a tectonic plate that was originally a part of the ancient continent of Gondwana from which it split off, eventually becoming a major plate. About 55 to 50 million years ago it fused with the adjacent Australian Plate. It is today part of the majorIndo-Australian Plate, and includes most of South Asia – i.e., the Indian subcontinent – and a portion of the basin under the Indian Ocean, including parts of South China and Eastern Indonesia,[1][2][3] and extending up to but not including Ladakh, Kohistan and Balochistan.
4.
introductio too CARBONATE SHELF EVOLUTION-RESPONSE TO SEA LEVEL
Answer: The major difference in patterns of shelfal evolution in siliciclastic systems versus carbonate-dominated systems again lies in sediment source. In siliciclastic settings, the shelf is fed at the shoreline, and gross shelfal architecture through time is marked by distinct coastal onlap and offlap that correspond to fluctuations of sea level (Vail and Hardenbol, 1979), by changes in the rate of sea level fluctuation, and by the availability of sediment coming into the system, as driven by source area climate and tectonism (Pittman, 1978).
5.
2004 Indian Ocean earthquake
Answer: The 9.1-9.3 moment magnitude 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was caused by the release of stresses built up along the subduction zone where the Indian Plate is sliding under the Burma Plate in the eastern Indian Ocean, at a rate of 6 cm/yr (2.5 in/yr). The Sunda Trench is formed along this boundary where the Indo-Australian and Eurasian Plates meet. Earthquakes in the region are either caused by thrust faulting, where the fault slips at right angles to the trench; or strike-slip faulting, where material to the east of the fault slips along the direction of the trench
