The Indian ocean was formed as a result of the tectonic processes associated with the breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana, which began around 200 million years ago. As the continents drifted apart, the Indian Plate moved northward, creating a rift that eventually filled with water, leading to the formation of the ocean. Additionally, tectonic activity, including seafloor spreading at mid-ocean ridges, further shaped the ocean's basin and geography. Over millions of years, this process established the Indian Ocean's current configuration.
