The Andes Mountains in South America and the Cascades Range in North America were formed as a result of ocean-continental convergence. These mountains were created through the subduction of oceanic plates beneath continental plates, leading to the uplift of land and the formation of mountain ranges.
Australia and into the Indian Ocean
it creates more land
The Indian Ocean is a body of water, a continent is a land mass.
It is in the Indian Ocean
The ocean directly south of Asia is the Indian Ocean. It is the third largest ocean in the world, covering an area of approximately 70.56 million square kilometers. The Indian Ocean is bounded by Africa to the west, Asia to the north, Australia to the east, and the Southern Ocean to the south. It is known for its rich biodiversity and important role in global trade and transportation.
The five land masses that collided to form Gondwanaland were South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, and the Indian subcontinent. These landmasses slowly merged together over millions of years during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras.
You have to cross the Indian Ocean to travel from eastern Africa to India, but you can travel on land.
The name of the mass of East African land that juts out into the Indian Ocean is the Horn of Africa.
Swaziland is a land locked country, but near the Indian Ocean
The Indo-Australian plate and the Asian plate, meeting where the Himalayas are, are both forcing their way towards each other. Both these plates are continental, therefore neither will go under the other - they can only move upwards (or buckle). As the plates then rise, the land rises, causing 'fold mountains'. The Himalayan Chain are the largest in the world.
There is no ocean directly below Asia, as with all land mass it sits on tectonic plates.
