Question

India’s landmass has been pushing into Asia for millions of years. What are two consequences of this constant pushing?

Answer 1

Answer:

Alluvial soil is fertile soil that the Ganges River carries and deposits into the Ganges Plain. This creates an alluvial plain of rich soil that makes it easier for farmers to grow crops.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The Indo-Australian Plate (comprising India) and the Eurasian plate (comprising Asia) are both continental plates that are moving towards one another, sharing a continental-continental type of convergent plate boundary since the last 50 million years back. Due to this collision, the sandwich pattern formed, resulting in the formation of the large Himalayan mountain belt. The world's tallest peak named Mount Everest is located in this Himalayan mountain.

Pushing and pulling causes;-

*Formation of the great Himalaya.

*Folding and faulting of the rocks due to the large compressional force

*This boundary formed the most seismic prone area, commonly known as the zone V. It is responsible for the occurrence of many earthquakes.
