Are Volcanoes responsible for forming Islands or do Islands form first then Volcanoes develop on them?
Landforms
Tectonic plate movement and volcanic activity created the landforms of South Asia Millions of years ago.
The Indochina Peninsula and Malay Peninsula make up the Mainland of Southeast Asia
Landforms About half of Southeast Asia’s
11 countries are on the main land: Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar(Burma) & Thailand
The rest are island countries: Brunei, East Timor, Indonesia, Singapore & the Philippines
Malaysia is both a main land and island country
Mountains and Volcanoes Many mountains in Southeast Asia are actually volcanoes
and may still be active
More than 300 volcanoes stretch across Indonesia & 129 are still active
