Himalayas

Himalayas act as climatic divide as they separate the two distinct climatic regions of Central Asia and china.

yes because it promoted ethnocentrism(nationalism) and provided peace and privacy from the outside world

• The Himalayan uplift out of the tethys sea and the subsidence of the northern flank of the peninsular plateau resulted in the formation of a large basin.
• In due course of time this depression got largely filled with deposition of sediments by the rivers flowing from the mountains in the north and the peninsular plateau in the south.
• A flat land of extensive alluvial deposits led to the formation of the northern plains of india.

The Himalayas has nine of the ten highest mountains. Only second-ranked K2 is not in the Himalayas.

Well, judging by the geographic layout of the Mayan mountains, and the hearding habits of the Quilete Indians, I have come to the conclusion that mongoose would be the predominent predator, taking into account the vast array of scorpions and snakes. It's like the story like Rikk-tik-tikki!

Terrace farming is done to make use of hillsides. This is done because the slopes are too steep for farming. Terraced hillsides help to reduce erosion and surface runoff. This helps to keep the soil in place on the hillsides.

In 1960 a Chinese expedition claims the first ascent of the North Ridge but the claim remains unsubstantiated as there is no summit photograph and no evidence the team got above the Second Step.

• The earth is composed of several plates. In the past there was only a huge land mass or the Pangea. This pangea broke up and drifted apart from another. The Gondwanaland was the southern part of this pangea.
• Due to the conventional current, this Gondwanaland was further broken down and split into several parts.
• One part of this Gondwanaland, the Indo-Australian plate started drifting towards the north.
• As a result it collided with Eurasian plate in the north. This collision caused the sedimentary deposition of the Tethys to get folded forming Himalayas and the mountain system of western Asia.

There are many peaks in India. Of them over 8000 meters are Kanchunjangha and Annapurna

The Taurus Mountains (Toros Daglari) are a range of mountains that stretch the length of the Mediterranean Coastline in Turkey and separate the Mediterranean Coast from the Central Anatolian plains.

Rakaposhi is the name of a high Karakoram mountain massif and the huge pyramid peak which tops this massif. The mountain dominates the Hunza Valley west of K2, its steep ice-covered peak towering above barren cliffs and terraces. Rakaposhi's climate is generally more favorable than that of the Himalayas, as it is located far enough west to be only minimally affected by the monsoon in July and August. In fact, long periods of exceptional weather are not uncommon throughout the summer.

The Alps are in Europe.
The Andes are in South America.
The Himalayas are in Asia.

The Himalayas were formed around 70 million years ago, when the Indo-Australian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate at a convergent/destructive plate boundary. This has caused fold mountains to form as there are no subductions of the plates that can be seen from the absence of volcanoes in the Himalayas.

The Himalayas or Himalaya is a mountain range in the Indian subcontinent, which separates the Indo-Gangetic Plain from the Tibetan Plateau. Geopolitically, it covers the Himalayan states and regions. This range is home to nine of the ten highest peaks on Earth, including the highest above sea level, Mount Everest. The Himalayas have profoundly shaped the cultures of South Asia. Many Himalayan peaks are sacred in Dharmic religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism. The Himalayas are bordered on the north by the Tibetan Plateau, on the south by the Indo-Gangetic Plain, on the northwest by the Karakoram and Hindu Kush ranges and on the east by the Indian states of Sikkim, the Darjeeling district of West Bengal, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur. The Hindu Kush, Karakoram and Himalayas together form the "Hindu Kush Himalayan Region" (HKH). The western anchor of the Himalayas, Nanga Parbat, lies just south of the northernmost bend of the Indus River; the eastern anchor, Namcha Barwa, is just west of the great bend of the Yarlung Tsangpo River. The Himalayas span five countries: Nepal, India, Bhutan, China (Tibet), and Pakistan. The first three countries having sovereignty over most of the range. Lifted by the collision of the Indian tectonic plate with the Eurasian Plate, the Himalayan range runs northwest to southeast in a 2,400-kilometre (1,500 mi)-long arc. The range varies in width from 400 kilometres (250 mi) in the west to 150 kilometres (93 mi) in the east. Besides the Greater Himalayas, there are several parallel lower ranges. The southernmost, along the northern edge of the Indian plains and reaching 1000 m in altitude, is the Sivalik Hills. Further north is a higher range, reaching 2000-3000 m, known as the Lower Himalayan Range.

Geographically: Indian subcontinent, some areas of the eastern Asian continent.

Politically: India, Pakistan, and Myanmar (also known as Burma.)

The Himalayas are a mountain range that lie above the Indian subcontinent. Major countries south of the Himalayas are India and Pakistan (And Sri Lanka, but this is an island nation, so they aren't affected geographically.) Countries which are within the Himalayas, or which contain the Himalayas as a major part of their geography, include Bhutan and Nepal. The Himalayas also stretch eastward above Asian countries, namely Myanmar (Burma). Besides India and Myanmar, no Asian countries outside the Indian subcontinent are south of it and directly border it, although other nations such as Laos, Thailand and China are technically south (east) of the Himalayas (in China's case, only in a very small part of the countries), they are mostly NOT directly south of it and/or do not include the Himalayas as part of their geography. (China does, but only northward; their southern areas do not contain any portion of them.)

It is thought that Mount Everest and the Himalayas started at the bottom of the ancient Tethys Sea, the motion of the Indian sub continental plate and the urasian continental plate colliding, about 30 - 50 million years ago, caused the mountain to rise up and become the highest mountain on the Earth.

are the result of continental-continental convergence (:

The member of the cow family that lives in the Himalayas is the Yak. The yaks roam all through the Himalayas.

Due to the harsh climate over there. It snows very often which makes it difficult to grow crops there.
