A Billion Years Ago...
The Indian subcontinent was a part of the supercontinent Gondwana, which included modern-day Africa, South America, Antarctica, and Australia. The land was vastly different from what we see today. Towering mountain ranges, like the Transgondwanan Supermountain, stretched across the continent. Volcanoes erupted, spewing forth molten lava and ash.
The Indian plate was a small, isolated landmass, surrounded by vast oceans. The atmosphere was thick with carbon dioxide, and the climate was hot and humid. Life was just beginning to emerge, with single-celled organisms thriving in the primordial oceans.
Over time, the Indian plate began to drift northwards, towards the Eurasian plate. This journey would take millions of years, shaping the land and creating the Himalayas.
As the plates collided, the earth's crust buckled and folded, forming the mighty mountain range. The Himalayas rose, a testament to the power of geological forces.
The Indian landform continued to evolve, with rivers carving out valleys and creating fertile plains. The climate changed, and life diversified, with plants and animals adapting to the new landscape.
And so, the story of India's landform unfolded, a tale of tectonic forces, volcanic eruptions, and the relentless march of time.
