Indian Plate
The Indian Plate is the tectonic plate that is specifically in India. The Indian Plate is surrounded by in close proximity to four other major plates including the Eurasian plate, the African plate, the Australian plate and the Arabian plate. Because of the location of this plate, the type of hazard that it creates the most is earthquakes. While the earthquakes are usually very low grade, there have been some catastrophic ones that have occurred.

In case anyone wants to see the map, see below a link that shows the plate. Maps are very useful to visualize things. Looking forward to learning about earthquakes next week...
