Himalayas

they are important as they provide many medicinal herbs and hydroelectricity

The Himalayas are 1,490 miles long, 100-250 miles wide, has over 100 peaks exceeding 23,500 ft including the 29,029 ft high Mount Everest, the tallest peak in the world. The Himalayan drainage basin houses 1,300 million people.

The Lake District is 34 miles long, 26 miles wide, has four peaks exceeding 3,000 ft including the 3,209 ft Scafell Pike, the tallest in peak in England. The Cumbrian region is home to about 500,000 people.

dont know wat it does!...for the 1st time use it shriked the pile and relieved the pain...but once you stop the medication, after a week...again ur constipation starts...makes ur life miserable while pooo!.and tats it..it comes again...so with Himalaya products, it never goes...only goes for a while and comes again!

The Himalaya Mountains have been a source of isolation for many years. Those who made the 1500 trek have nicknamed it the 'hump', 'hippie pass' or the 'Khyber pass'.

Can you narrow it down a bit please? The Himalayas is a huge region, of some of the highest mountains in the world.

Everest, the tallest mountain in the world, has got two heights: one, recognised by Nepal, is the snow height and is 8848 metres; the other is the rock height, as recognised by China, and is 8844 metres.

No mountain, anywhere in the world, has a constant height: they all change over time.

1. Himalayas is 7,500 feet long

Himalayas are very important to India.They are protecting India and are acting like a wall for India.If Himalayas were not formed, there won't be much protection for India.they provide us with medicines,glue,flowers,wood.they don't let the rain clouds go beyond india.

The Himalaya Mountains go through or across five countries. These countries include India, Nepal, Bhutan, China, as well as Pakistan.

Due to the continuing (very slow) collision of India with Asia, some mountains of the Himalayas will be pushed even higher than they are now, until erosion begins to tear them down faster than they are raised. This will take many millions of years.

The Appalachian mountains of North America were actually formed by a similar collision that formed the supercontinent of Pangaea, but eroded away over a period of 300 million years until again being uplifted during the Cenozoic Era.

Centuries of erosion carried soils, water, and nutrients down from the higher slopes.

Okay Himalayas cover a distance of 2400km. their width varies from 400km to 150km.

it is divided into 3 parts:

1. Great Himalayas or Inner Himalayas or Himadri

2. Lesser Himalayas or Himachal

you pronounce it:Him-and then AA like at the begging of ask and then lay and then ya

so it would be Him-AA-lay-ya-s

cool eh?

in terms of temperature,eastern himalayas are much more cooler and have less rainfall compared to western himalayas having warmer and high rainfall

western-

1) located between the indus and the kali rivers west of 8o degrees longitude.

2) they receive an avg rainfall of 100m

3) They consist of three distinct ranges- himadri, himachal and shivalik.

4) They are covered with coniferous forests

The Andes were formed when one tectonic plate was driven below another, elevating part of the South American plate. The Himalayas were formed (and are still being formed) by crushing and folding of one tectonic plate as another is driving into it. The Japanese island chains were formed (and are still being formed) by two tectonic plates pulling slightly apart from each other. Magma boils upward, forming new land.

The Himalayas are Fold Mountains

I assume you want to ask, what are effects of Himalaya on snow and rain.

Himalaya blocks northernly winds from crossing over to Indian sub-continent, this means most of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh stays warm all year round, sometimes too warm.

During winter these winds block cold dry area, if you notice most of the region of china on same latitude and altitude get really cold during winter, Shanghai is on similar latitude as New Delhi and is actually lower in altitude, still its 4-5C cooler than Delhi.

While during winter same cold air is blocked but this helps monsoon, as winds move from south (Indian ocean) carrying moist air over the land and it has to be dumbed somewhere. If there were no Himalayas, in Winter India wouldn't receive monsoon as the wind would blow from north to south as south of the country would get hotter and winds always move from cooler region to warmer region as hot air rises up making pressure low and cooler air fills the space.

This would still bring rain to lower part of the country but most of the north would be desert.

This is all I know.
