Solution

Dear Student,

Andaman and Nicobar Islands were framed because of impact between Indian Plate and Burma Minor Plate [part of Eurasian Plate][Similar to development of Himalayas]. Andaman and Nicobar Islands are toward the south augmentation of Arakan Yoma range [Myanmar][Arakan Yoma in itself is an expansion of Purvanchal Hills].

Fruitless Island is an island situated in the Andaman Sea. It is the lone affirmed dynamic spring of gushing lava in South Asia, and the lone dynamic fountain of liquid magma along a chain of volcanoes from Sumatra to Myanmar.
Infertile Island, an ownership of India in the Andaman Sea around 135 km NE of Port Blair in the Andaman Islands, is the lone generally dynamic fountain of liquid magma along the N-S-moving volcanic circular segment reaching out among Sumatra and Burma (Myanmar).

Regards.
