According to the analysis, the     22     between India’s southern and northern tips shrinks by 2 cm every year. As India’s size decreases, the thickness of the Himalayas increases.    23   the shrinking continues, India will disappear in 200 million years. There would only be a vast mountain range along the southern coast of China. The Indian plate’s     24     movement is not new. However, this cannot be treated as a trivial finding in science. A movement of     25     a few millimeters (mm) of the earth’s crust is a sign of possible earthquakes. Such dangers are now obvious in India, where the movement of the plate continues.
