Himalayan seismicity results from

  • A.divergence along a ridge in the Indian Ocean
  • B.transform motion along the Arabian plate margin
  • C.collision of the Indian plate with the Eurasian plate
  • D.subduction of the Indian plate beneath the Pacific plate

Answer: C

The Indian plate continues to move northward and underthrust Eurasia, and the strain released along the resulting thrust systems has produced several great earthquakes. This makes the Himalayan belt the most seismically active part of India.
