What tectonic plates are the Himalayas on?
The Himalayas are on the boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate.
Which two continents whose edges are not at all on the plate boundary?
Australia is in the middle of the Australian-Indian plate. Antarctica has its own plate, but the actual continent doesn't get near the plate boundary. It's plate is called, oddly enough, the Antarctic plate. Who would have figured? You could say that Africa's edges aren't on plate boundaries, but there are some places in northern Africa that get pretty close to being on a boundary.
What kind of convergent boundary is India in?
To the North of the Indian subcontinent are the Himalayas. These mark the Convergent plate boundary between it and the Eurasian Plate.
What Type of plate boundary exists between Indian and Asia?
A Collision plate boundary, where two continental plates that are the same in density and thickness, push against each other forming fold mountains and crumble zones. This causes Earthquakes from the pressure and stress but not volcanoes.
What are the four oceans of the Earth?
The four ocean's of the earth are : * The Indian Ocean, * The Atlantic Ocean, * The Pacific Ocean, * The Arctic Ocean
What tectonic plates are the Himalayas on?
The Himalayas are on the boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate.
Name of Australian ocean?

What is a continent between Indian Pacific oceans?
A continent between the Indian and Pacific oceans is Asia. The Indian Ocean is to the south of the continent while the Pacific Ocean is around the eastern side of it.
Is the Tambora on a convergent boundary?
Yes. Tambora is located where the Indian-Australian plate and the Eurasian plate collide. When two plates collide, it forms a convergent boundary.
What crustal plate is Indonesia on?
Indonesia is located between two continental plates: the Eurasian Plate and Australian Plate and between two oceanic plates: the Indian Plate and Pacific Plate.
Which tectonic plates collide into the Indo-Australian Plate?
The Eurasian and Pacific plates collide into the Indian and Australian plates, also known as Indo-Australian plate.
Is Krakatoa associated with a specific plate boundary?
Yes. It is on the boundary between the Indian Plate, and the Eurasian Plate.
What plate boundary was the Shensi Earthquake?
Convergence plate boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Indian Plate.

Why do Earth scientists think that rigid slabs of the lithosphere are descending into the mantle near the Tonga Island?
Close by the Tonga Island on the ocean floor lies the Tonga trench, which is a convergent boundary. At the Tonga trench the Pacific plate is subducting beneath the Australian-Indian plate, sending slabs of the Pacific plate into the mantle.
Continent between Indian and pacific ocean?
Australia is the continent located between the Indian and Pacific Ocean.
What continents border 3 oceans?
North America and Asia both border three oceans. North America borders the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic oceans. Asia borders the Pacific, Indian, and Arctic oceans. You could also possibly argue that Australia borders three oceans - the Pacific, Indian, and Southern oceans. However, not all authorities agree as to the northern boundary of the Southern Ocean so it is debatable whether the southern coast of Australia is the Southern Ocean or the Indian Ocean. Australian charts show it as it the Southern Ocean, but the International Hydrographic Organization defines the northern boundary of the Southern Ocean to be 60 degrees South, and by that definition Australia's southern coast is actually the Indian Ocean. Also, if you consider that the Mediterranean Sea is an arm of the Atlantic Ocean, then Asia could technically be said to border four oceans (Pacific, Indian, Arctic and Atlantic).
