correctly label the two tectonic plates that are involved at this plate boundary.
word bank:

• indian plate
• eurasian plate
• african plate

Explanation:

The map shows the region of the Himalayas, Tibetan Plateau, and the Indian subcontinent. The tectonic plates involved in this boundary (where the Himalayas are formed) are the Indian Plate (for the Indian subcontinent area, labeled as Hotspot 1) and the Eurasian Plate (for the area including the Tibetan Plateau, labeled as Hotspot 2). The African Plate is not involved here. So Hotspot 1 (the Indian subcontinent) should be labeled as Indian Plate, and Hotspot 2 (near the Tibetan Plateau) as Eurasian Plate.

Answer:

Hotspot 1: Indian Plate
Hotspot 2: Eurasian Plate
