You haven't said what it is smaller than. So, technically, I don't know. But it is smaller than most plates like the Eurasian plate or the Pacific plate but it is larger than the Cocos plate. Just say smaller than ... next time.
:) Hope this helped.
Yes, the Indian plates do have trench forms. Another name for the Indian plate is the India plate. It is a tectonic plate that was originally part of ancient Gondwana.
The Himalayas mountain range was created when the Indian plate crashed into the European plate. The softer Indian plate was pushed under (a process known as subduction), lifting and forming the Himalayas (which is still growing).
One example is when the Indian Plate crashed into the European plate. As the Indian plate was driven beneath the European plate, the Himalayas was formed and is still increasing in height.
In the case of the Indian Plate colliding with the Asian Plate, the Indian Plate pushed under the harder Asian Plate, and the Himalayan mountain range was thrust upwards.
The Himalayas were formed when the Indian Plate collided with the harder European Plate. The Indian Plate was thrust under at what is termed a subduction zone.
The proposed plate called the Capricorn Plate is a relatively rigid oceanic structure that was the westernmost part of the Indo-Australian Plate, which is now believed to exist as three separate smaller plates: the Indian Plate, the Australian Plate, and the Capricorn Plate.
Countries that are predominantly located on the Indian Plate include India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and parts of Afghanistan. These countries are positioned on the Indian tectonic plate which is part of the larger Indo-Australian Plate.

Arabian plate
The Indian plate did not subduct when it collided with the Eurasian plate because the Indian plate is less dense than the Eurasian plate, causing it to be pushed upwards and form the Himalayan mountain range instead of being forced beneath the Eurasian plate.
The Himalayas were formed by the collision of the Eurasian plate (continental) and the Indo-Australian plate (continental).
This is due to surface area, size/volume and compactment. The smaller plate heats faster because it has a lowwer volume and size than the big plate, which makes it posses a smaller surface area and also in a smaller compactment. This allows heat to flow through the smaller plate and covering its entire mass in a shorter time than it does in the big plate, making the smaller plate heat up faster and sooner.

Convergence plate boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Indian Plate.
yes because it is
