Talk:Indo-Australian Plate

References

The reference numbers are not in the references section. I thought that was automatic. I've not noticed this before in any other article— is this article correctly attributing? Robbiemuffin (talk) 03:03, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

In-line references have to be enclosed in <ref> </ref> tags, and then there has to be the template {{reflist}} down where you want them to appear. I think I fixed them, but you may want to add descriptive words in the links so that more appears in the reflist than just the link -- as in [http://URL Here are the words describing it].

Thanks, I'll go back and work on the reference numbers now.

Oh dear, I goofed. Can someone revert my move?

Sorry, too quick to notice that "Indo" is a shortened item; therefore I was totally wrong to move the title from hyphen to en dash.

I don't know how to revert this. Will some kind person oblige? Tony (talk) 11:20, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Done. Dabomb87 (talk) 12:50, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Borneo ?

"The northeast side of the Indo-Australian plate forms a subducting boundary with the Eurasian plate on the borders of the Indian Ocean from Bangladesh, to Myanmar (formerly Burma) to the south-west of Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Borneo."

The last part of this seems an odd assertion to me. Borneo isn't really near the plate boundary at all. The subducting plate boundary and associated seismic and volcanic effects runs along near Sumatra and Java, not Sumatra and Borneo ?Eregli bob (talk) 23:46, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

two or three subplates ?

Several people have mentioned that the Indo-Australian Plate is divided into three separate plates, the Indian, Australian and Capricorn Plates. I don't see any mention of the capricorn plate in this article though? EdwardLane (talk) 23:00, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Having discovered an article introduction worded in the present rather than more correctly in past tense, I have added multiple academic references to clarify this issue of separation as some wording was based on knowledge made out of date by at least 20 years and location and now understood dynamics of at least 3 major earthquakes.

Graphic showing Indo-Australian Plate

The caption is "In orange and red is the Indo-Australian plate, shown as divided between the Indian Plate and the Australian Plate" ... the difficulty is that the orange (mentioned first) is the Australian Plate (mentioned second); i.e. the caption should be "In red and orange is the Indo-Australian plate, shown as divided between the Indian Plate and the Australian Plate", which then lines up red and Indian, and orange and Australian.
