The Himalayas are a brownish color as they are made of Earth. They are covered in snow however, so are partially white as well.
Why the south facing slopes of the Himalayas have more hill station?
Its expericene more sunlight and himalaya mountain prevent the cold winds of north and central asia from blowing into the south, thus protecting it from severely cold winters.
What 2 continents created the Himalayan mountains?
The Himalayan range is one of the youngest mountain ranges on the planet and consists mostly of uplifted sedimentary and metamorphic rock. According to the modern theory of plate tectonics, its formation is a result of a continental collision or orogeny along the convergent boundary between the Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
Does anyone live in the Himalayas?
Yes
The countries of Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet are all entirely within the Himalayas.
How physical and climate regions affect people's culture?
I am no expert, but I have observed that climate affects tangible aspects of culture, which in turn may affect the intangible aspects of culture. In both of the following examples, based on my personal experience living in both warm and cold climates, the "tangible" aspect of culture is the architecture of homes: Example 1: A warm year-round climate (with a lot of "hot" thrown in) breeds the problem of ways for people to stay cool in their homes. As sun heats the sides of houses and warms them up, people begin to build their homes wall-to-wall with no space between as a way to eliminate surface area for the sun to heat. People then end up with neighbors who are very close in proximity, and they become accustomed (aculturated?) to having limited personal space, and to sharing many items so as to maximize the space alotted them. This could lead to close-knit communities and families. Example 2: A cold climate breeds the problem of trying to heat houses and structures during the cold months. Because the ground can freeze and transfer the cold, people begin to build basements to eliminate the direct contact with frozen ground. People also build structures with large windows and sides to the sun, to absorb as much heat as possible. They also use materials that absorb the heat, such as wood, and fill hollow walls with insulation. These types of structures benefit from exposure to the sun, so space surrounding the house is important for it to function. People then become accustomed to having space, to drawing lines on the ground to designate "mine" vs "yours" and being personally responsible for obtaining the things you need. This could lead to individualism and possibly to capitalism.
Yes. 29,028 Feet is the Height of Everest, the tallest mountain in the world, in the Himalayan mountain range.
The Indo-Gangetic plain.
Can the Himalayas be seen from space?
Yes, the Himalayas can be seen from space, as it is part of Earth, considering it to be about 2,400 metres long and 350 km wide. If from a certain angle, the height/elevation of it can be seen. If viewing the top view, it would look like jagged surfaces covered with snow and ice (white in colour).
What are the names and heights of important peaks in the Himalayas?
names and height of important peaks of himalayas
Are the Himalayan mountains on a rift or a continent?
They are on the continent of Asia, and were pushed up by the ongoing collision of India with the Eurasian plate. This has created some of the highest mountains in the world. A rift, on the other hand, is a region where a continental mass is splitting apart, as in eastern Africa.
Why do people visit the Himalayas?
because for geography.
To explore the real nature and beauty blessed by God. To get more close to sky and get relaxed in the peaceful atmosphere.
How is the height of the Himalayas measured?
The height of any mountain or range - the Himalayas included - is usually measured by surveyors using a transit and measuring rod, or theodolites, which measure angles in the horizontal and vertical planes. An altimeter is another measuring tool which can be used, but it is not as accurate, and is unlikely to be used for the world's highest mountain range. Modern technology has now enabled the use of GPS satellite technology, or more precisely GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) technology.
The Himalayas are situated to the north-east of which country?
They are mostly NorthEast of India and Southwest of Nepal and Butan.
