1ans.- Plate tectonics is the theory that the outer rigid layer of the earth
(the lithosphere) is divided into about a dozen " plates" that move across the
earth's surface relative to each other, like slabs of ice on a lake (click picture
below for a larger version).

The movement of the plates is driven by convection cells in the mantle so

the plates are continuously jostling against each other. Geologically, the most
important things happen at plate boundaries, including most of the
earthquakes, volcanos, igneous rocks, major metamorphism, and mountain
building processes. Interplate regions tend to be rather boring.
There are three kinds of plate boundaries. Divergent boundaries are where
plates separate from each other, and magma oozes up from the mantle into
the crack (a fissure volcano) making the ocean basin wider. This is known
as sea floor spreading.

Convergent boundaries are where plates come together, but to do so one

of the plates must dive below the surface into the mantle along a subduction
 zone. Convergent boundaries produce mountain chains of very large, explosive
volcanos (composite type).

And, transform boundaries where plates slide past each other, ideally with
little or no vertical movement. Most transform boundaries are below sea level
and so not easy to see. The San Andreas fault in California is a transform
boundary.

2ans.- The Northern Plain was formed by the deposits brought in by the three
major rivers and their tributaries. Alluvium was deposited at the foot–hills of
the Himalayas for millions of years. These deposits are now the
fertile Northern Plains. Alluvium is soil or sediments deposited by a river or
other running water.

3ans.- There are three kinds of plate tectonic boundaries: divergent, convergent,
and transform plateboundaries.

There are three kinds of plate tectonic boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform plate
boundaries.
This image shows the three main types of plate boundaries: divergent,
convergent, and transform.

A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each
other. Along these boundaries, lava spews from long fissures and geysers spurt
superheated water. Frequent earthquakes strike along the rift. Beneath the rift,
magma—molten rock—rises from the mantle. It oozes up into the gap and
hardens into solid rock, forming new crust on the torn edges of the plates.
Magma from the mantle solidifies into basalt, a dark, dense rock that underlies
the ocean floor. Thus at divergent boundaries, oceanic crust, made of basalt, is
created.

When two plates come together, it is known as a convergent boundary. The

impact of the two colliding plates buckles the edge of one or both plates up into a
rugged mountain range, and sometimes bends the other down into a deep
seafloor trench. A chain of volcanoes often forms parallel to the boundary, to the
mountain range, and to the trench. Powerful earthquakes shake a wide area on
both sides of the boundary.

If one of the colliding plates is topped with oceanic crust, it is forced down into
the mantle where it begins to melt. Magma rises into and through the other plate,
solidifying into new crust. Magma formed from melting plates solidifies into
granite, a light colored, low-density rock that makes up the continents. Thus at
convergent boundaries, continental crust, made of granite, is created, and
oceanic crust is destroyed.

Two plates sliding past each other forms a transform plate boundary. Natural or
human-made structures that cross a transform boundary are offset—split into
pieces and carried in opposite directions. Rocks that line the boundary are
pulverized as the plates grind along, creating a linear fault valley or undersea
canyon. As the plates alternately jam and jump against each other, earthquakes
rattle through a wide boundary zone. In contrast to convergent and divergent
boundaries, no magma is formed. Thus, crust is cracked and broken at transform
margins, but is not created or destroyed.

Riverine islands are those islandswhich have developed inside a river . Such type
of island may form due to the interconnection of two rivers enclosing a land area
between them
