Question 10 • 2026-27 AL-Earth and Space Science

Sometimes earthquakes occur at a boundary between the Indian and Eurasian Plates. The collisions of these two continental plates formed the Himalayan mountain range.Based on this information, which type of boundary exists between the Indian and Eurasian Plates?

Answer
A
continental-continental convergent
B
continental-continental divergent
C
oceanic-continental divergent
D
oceanic-continental convergent

Explanation

The Indian and Eurasian Plates are both continental plates, and their collision pushed the crust upward to form the Himalayas. Plates that move toward and collide with each other form a convergent boundary, so this is a continental-continental convergent boundary.
