The Indian Plate is a tectonic plate located beneath the Indian subcontinent and the Indian Ocean. It is situated to the north of the Southern Ocean, bordered by the Arabian Sea to the west, the Bay of Bengal to the east, and the Indian Ocean to the south.
This plate is significant because it is involved in several geological processes, including the collision with the Eurasian Plate, which has led to the uplift of the Himalayas. The movement of the Indian Plate can also influence seismic activity in the region, making it a crucial area for studying plate tectonics.
