Himalayas

For many reasons:

a. source of water, rivers, forests, oxygen

b. natural harbour of eco systems

c. habitat for a large number of Indians

d. strategically protects from China

Because India asked for rain.

k2=8611m

kanchenjunga=8598m

so k2 is the highest peak in india

the Himalaya mountains

Shangri-La is a place described in the fictional book Lost Horizon by James Hilton. The British author created a mystical and utopian valley led by the gentle lamasery and located it the western part of the Kunlun Mountains near China.

Frequently mountain ranges will block the flow of moisture laden air off an ocean from crossing into the interior of a continent. The moisture is forced upward by the mountains where it condenses and falls as rain or snow on the windward side of the mountains leaving a rain shadow desert on the leeward side. See the image above.

Indian Ocean is the geographical barrier between India and Africa .

When the volcano erupts it can do many things such as:

-Kill people

-Destroy crops and plantation

-Suffocate people from the ashes

Take Pompeii for example. When the volcano near Pompeii exploded, no one had had any idea that would happen! So therefore, when it did, no one was prepared for it. After the eruption, the city was covered in mud and ash. Scientists only found the bodies and remains of/in the city years and years later.

The ash from a volcano can suffocate people and the lava can burn people.

Volcanoes can also cause earthquakes.

But, volcanoes do provide a lot of good things, such as Geothermal heat, nutrients (from the ashes) that are good for the ground, and tourism. It is also beautiful to watch a volcano to explode from a distance away.

But is the earthquakes is very bad ? yes it is because is people how now when earthquakes start but lots of people go to die because earthquakes and lavas is very strong

The Hindu Kush is am 500 mile mountain range that stretches between central Afghanistan and northern Pakistan. The highest point in the Hindu Kush is Tirich Mir (7,708 m or 25,289 ft) in the Chitral region of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

One of the ways that the Himalayan Mountains help India is that for centuries they have acted as a effective natural barrier against any invading armies for Asia. The Himalayans are extremely difficult to cross, even in the summer when the snow has melted.

The Himalayans also provide a great barrier against the harsh winter winds of Central Asia, and keeps the rain laden winds of the Indian ocean in India, turning into a fertile land.

Mount Everest (as a part of Sagarmatha National Park) became a World heritage site under criteria vii. It is an area of exceptional national beauty including mountains, glaciers and deep valleys. It is home to rare species such as the snow leopard and the red panda. it is one of the most geologically interesting places on earth representing one of the major stages of evolution of the earth. It is home to the highest ecologically characteristic flora and fauna in the world and is intricately weaved into the local Sherpa culture.

There are several ethnic groups in these regions. There are the Bhote, Tibetans, Sherpa, Kashyap Gotra, Uttarakhand, Tharu, and others.

Many of these groups are culturally intertwined.

They were all formed at convergent boundaries

The Himalayas are situated on continental-continental convergent boundaries. Two plates, the Eurasian Plate and the Australian-Indian Plate, are colliding into each other. The Eurasian plate is traveling 3.7-5.4 centimeters each year and this continental collision of two buoyant plates created such tall mountains.

how are the himalayas divided in the east and west directions

On the 29th May 1953, New Zealander Edmund Hillary, and the Nepalese Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, were the first climbers ever to reach the top of Mount Everest, the tallest mountain above sea level in the world.

HAPE and HACE are too severe forms of acute mountain sickness which happens when people ascend to very high altitudes, for example, Mount Everest. One affects the lungs whereas the other affects the brain.

The population of the Himalayas is 1000

Sherpas who were born near the Himalayan Mountains are use to the cold. They keep warm by wearing extra clothing, much of which is mountain clothing left to them after expeditions they have worked on.

The Nineteen rivers in the Himalayas include the Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra, Yamuna, Sutlej, Beas, Ghaghara, Gandaki, Kosi, Teesta, Chenab, Jhelum, Ravi, Zanskar, Spiti, Markha, Luni, Kameng, and Dihang. These rivers originate from the glaciers and snowfields of the Himalayas, playing crucial roles in the ecology and economies of the regions they flow through. Each river has its own unique characteristics and significance in terms of culture, religion, and hydrology.
