• India Australian Plate diverging from Antarctic Plate: This is a divergent boundary, not a collision (convergent) boundary.
• Eurasian Plate converging with India (Indian Plate which is part of the Indo - Australian Plate in some classifications): Both Eurasian and Indian (when considering the continental part of the Indo - Australian Plate involved in the collision) are continental plates. The collision formed the Himalayas.
