India and China's relationship has been significantly strained due to border disputes, highlighting the question of territorial sovereignty as it leads to increasing tensions and standoffs.
In a recent report, NDTV's Science Editor Pallava Bagla explains how natural phenomena like plate tectonics are leading to shifts in boundaries, resulting in India supposedly losing land to China.
Understanding plate tectonics clarifies how the Earth's crust is dynamic; the Indian plate's rapid movement towards the Eurasian plate has tectonic implications, directly affecting India-China territorial claims.
Research indicates that the Indian plate's collision with the Eurasian plate has been significant for millions of years, creating geological formations like the Himalayas but also increasing seismic activity.
