What are the characteristics of Himalayas?
The Himalayan Mountains are a range of mountains situtuated to the North of India, spreading out through Pakistan and Nepal. The most characteristic features of the Himalayas are their great height, the structure in which they stand tall, snowcapped peaks, beautiful glaciers, deep rivers that flow from the top, and rich vegetation. From south to north the Himalayan ranges can be grouped into four parallel belts of varying width namely the Outer, or Sub, Himalayas; the Lesser, or Lower, Himalayas. Viewed from the south, the Himalayas appear as a gigantic crescent with the main axis rising above the snow line, where snowfields, alpine glaciers, and avalanches all feed lower-valley glaciers that in turn constitute the sources of most of the Himalayan rivers. They are the tallest Mountain range on the entire earth.
How Is global warming on the Himalayas a threat for Asian water?
The Ganges and the Indus Rivers, and many smaller ones in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Burma and are all fed with melting water from the Himalayas. The water comes from glaciers in the mountains. If global warming melts the glaciers in the Himalayan Mountains as it is beginning to, then these great rivers, that millions of people rely on, will dry up. Global warming through human emissions are particularly noted in this area as tourists bring fuels in and the tourist trade itself is blamed for a great deal of the melting of these glaciers.
