The Indo-Australian Plate

The northern part of the Indo-Australian plate has a convergent boundary, while the southern part of this plate has a divergent plate. There is an eastern portion of the plate that has a transform boundary, two plates that slide past one another.
The Indo-Australian plate and the Eurasian plate are colliding creating the Himalayan Mountains. This mountain range is continuing to expand slowly each year.
