Question

Why is the Peninsular plateau more stable than the Himalayas?

• A. The Himalayas are formed at the convergence of two plates.
• B. The Plateau is formed at the convergence of two plates.
• C. The Himalayas are constantly sinking into the land.
• D. The Himalayas are being swallowed by the sea.

Answer 1

The correct option is A The Himalayas are formed at the convergence of two plates.

The Himalayas which are formed at the margin of two plate boundaries are still rising. This is because the plates are still pushing against each other that's why this area is geologically active and structurally unstable. The Plateau has been formed on a much more solid block of land.
