The Indian plate includes Peninsular India and the Australian continental portions.A transform fault, in geology and oceanography is a type of fault in which two tectonic plates slide past one another.They are found in every ocean basin on the planet and the deepest ocean trenches ring the Pacific called the “Ring of Fire''.These are the deepest parts of the ocean and some of the deepest natural spots on Earth.Ocean trenches are long, narrow depressions on the seafloor.Mountain Ridge: A mountain ridge refers to the chain of mountains or hills that form a continuous elevated crest for some distance.Juan De Fuca plate: South-East of North American Plate.Caroline plate: Between the Philippine and Indian plate (North of New Guinea).Philippine plate: Between the Asiatic and Pacific plate.Arabian plate: Mostly the Saudi Arabian landmass.Nazca plate: Between South America and Pacific plate.Cocos plate: Between Central America and Pacific plate.The Africa with the eastern Atlantic floor plate.The South American plate (with western Atlantic floor separated from the North American plate along the Caribbean islands).The North American plate (with western Atlantic floor separated from the South American plate along the Caribbean islands).The Antarctic (and the surrounding oceanic) plate.Young Fold Mountain ridges, oceanic trenches, and/or transform faults surround the major plates.The Earth’s lithosphere is divided into seven major and some minor plates. The Pacific plate is largely an oceanic plate whereas the Eurasian plate is a continental plate.A tectonic plate may be a continental plate or an oceanic plate, depending on which of the two occupies the larger portion of the plate.The concept of Tectonic Plates was first introduced in 1967.
