    The document discusses the physical features of India that were formed by the movement of tectonic plates over time. India originally broke away from the supercontinent Gondwanaland and drifted north as the Indo-Australian plate. It later collided with the Eurasian plate, forming the Himalayan mountains. This tectonic activity and the collision with Eurasia resulted in India's major physiographic divisions, including the Himalayas, Northern Plains, Peninsular Plateau, Coastal Plains, and islands of India.
