Tectonic Landforms: Vimal Singh

There are three main types of tectonic collisions that form landforms: collision between oceanic and continental plates, between two oceanic plates, and between two continental plates. The movement of the Indian tectonic plate contributed to the formation of landforms in South Asia, such as through collision with other plates and strike-slip faulting. Specific landforms are associated with different structural geological features like normal faults, thrust faults, and strike-slip faults.
