Observe the border between the Indian plate and the Somali plate. Do you see the same landforms as at the boundary between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate? Explain.

PLEASE HELP!!

Answer:

Both borders are similar, not in the shape but in the part of the continent that they divide.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is believe that in some years, the part of the East Africa that belong to the Indian tectonic plate could be separated from the continent, due to the movement of the tectonic plate, so a new island will be created.

In a similar way, the part of Asia that belong to the Indian tectonic plate, by passing the time, could be separated, forming a new island.

Hope this info is useful.

I'm not sure I completely understand what the question is asking for. When I look at the plates, it looks like they all fit together like a giant puzzle. They separated due to tectonic plates shifting over hundreds of years. This was based on the theory that there was a supercontinent (one giant landmass). I'm not sure how much this helps, but I hope it does. Good luck!!
