Indian Plate

The Indian plate is still moving north at 67 mm per year.

This area is close to northern margin of the Indian plate.

The quake happened because a part of the earth's surface, called the Indian plate, is slowly moving north.

I was wondering if it might be a problem driving on Indian plates ?

The Indian Plate moves north and northeast about two inches a year, he said.

Other quakes that have shaken the Indian plate have been deeper.

Then as a part of the Indian Plate, it detached and drifted northward.

The Indian Plate collided with the Asian mainland about 55 million years later.

The movement of the Indian plate into the Asian plate also leads to earthquakes from time to time.

Age and tectonic implications of the granitoid rocks form the Indian plate of northern Pakistan.

However, there is a relative movement between the Indian Plate and the Australian Plate.

Most of this region rests on the Indian Plate and is isolated from the rest of Asia by mountain barriers.

At the same time, the northward motion of the Indian plate accelerated, more than doubling to a blistering (again, geologically speaking) 18 cm/yr.

The earthquake was caused by the collision between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate.

It is believed that the Indian plate is penetrating into the Eurasian plate at a rate of 5 cm/year.

This earthquake occurred in the Indian Plate near the Central Indian Ridge.

We see a process like this going on today in the Himalayas, where the Indian plate is pushing northward into the Eurasian plate.

These were formed by the destructive boundary of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate that started around 50 million years ago.

On the southern boundary in the Turan Depression are large deposits of natural gas formed as a result of its collision with the Indian plate.

As the Indian plate drifted north, the hotspot continued to punch through the plate, creating a string of volcanic islands and undersea plateaus.

Second is the extrusion or escape tectonics mechanism which sees the Indian plate as an indenter that squeezed the Indochina block out of its way.

The two protoplates or subplates are generally referred to as the Indian Plate and the Australian Plate.

The Indian plate continues to be driven horizontally below the Tibetan Plateau, which forces the plateau to move upwards.

The volcanic arc is located about 125km above the Wadati-Benioff zone representing the seismic activity along the downgoing Indian Plate.
