Himalayas

Yes. There is an enormous amount of mineral resources in the Himalayas. Mining has been occurring there for centuries and then transported all over the world through the Great Silk Road. One of the royal crowns has a Spinel (ruby) the size of a golf ball that was mined from the Himalayas. Due to the extremely rough terrain, modern mining has been kept to a minimum in Nepal and Bhutan which lack the infrastructure and financial resources required for large operations. Many outside companies have tried setting up shop there but few have worked out. Another thing limiting the mining in Nepal and Bhutan has been the importance placed on not impacting the environment which is ingrained in their Tibetan roots. They mine for; Iron, Limestone, numerous rare gems (some found only in the Himalaya), Granite, Dolomite, and many others

The Indo-Australian plate and the Asian plate, meeting where the Himalayas are, are both forcing their way towards each other. Both these plates are continental, therefore neither will go under the other - they can only move upwards (or buckle). As the plates then rise, the land rises, causing 'fold mountains'. The Himalayan Chain are the largest in the world.

the average hieght of the upper himalayas is about 6000 metres

the average height of the middle himalayas is about 4000 metres

the average height of the lower himalayas is about 2000 metres

The Himalayan mountain chain is formed by the convergence of the Indian and Eurasian plates. This mountain formation due to convergent plates is more correctly known as an orogeny or orogenic event.

The average temperature of the Himalaya mountains varies depending on the region and elevation. In general, temperatures can range from hot at lower elevations to very cold at higher elevations, with average temperatures decreasing as altitude increases. Summer temperatures can be mild to warm, while winter temperatures can drop well below freezing.

In the Himalayas, decomposers commonly include bacteria, fungi, and insects such as beetles and earthworms. Scavengers like vultures, jackals, and foxes play a crucial role in recycling nutrients by feeding on the remains of dead animals in the region.

Elevation maps are used to show that the Himalaya mountains are the highest in the world. These maps visualize the varying heights of land surfaces, with the Himalayas standing out prominently due to their towering peaks, including Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth.

The Himalayas pass through Afganistan, Bhutan, Burman, China, India, Nepal, & Pakistan.

A Himalayan Tahr is an animal that is like a mountain goat. It hasa reddish dark brownish coloured thick fur coat and normally weighs 36 up to 90kg and are 90 to 140cm long. they are very interesting creatures and are a main diet of the Snow Leopard.

About 150 million years ago, a tectonic plate drifted over from Asia and crashed into the Arctic basin. This movement created the immense pressure necessary to push up the a Brooks range in Alaska.

There is considerable debate as to which mountain and/or mountain range has the lowest recorded temperature. Unofficial recordings on Denali (also known as Mt. McKinley), which is in the Alaska Range has temperatures of -100° F, while K2, which is in the Karakoram Range has had temperatures as low as -80° F. Alaska Range is located in Alaska and Karakoram Range is located on the borders of Pakistan, China and India.

Marine fossils form when creatures die and sink to the bottom where there is little oxygen, and are covered with sediment. If sediment continues to accumulate, after many years its weight will crush the deposit, and in combination with well known chemical processes, can cement it into sandstone. Later, if the sea floor it lifted by any of a number of (again, well understood) geological processes, what was once the sea floor can become part of a mountain. Such a mountain can form in a few million years, where fossils have been forming for 3 BILLION years.

Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain in total from sea floor to summit.Even out of the sea and on land, Mauna Kea still is taller than Mount Everest.

I think that because of the Himalayas growth in their height, they protected Indian subcontinent from the North.

No. The Alps are in Europe, The Himalayas are in Asia.

The population density of the Himalayas is very low due to its rugged terrain and extreme weather conditions, making it difficult for people to live there permanently. The region is primarily inhabited by indigenous communities and scattered rural settlements.

The Himalayas are located in Asia, spanning across five countries: Nepal, India, Bhutan, China, and Pakistan. They are a mountain range known for their towering peaks, including Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth.

Since 1994 climbing of mountains in Bhutan higher than 6,000 metres has been prohibited out of respect for local spiritual beliefs, and since 2003 mountaineering has been forbidden completely.

That is a bit curious, because Thimpthu, the nations capital city, is at about 8000 ft, so just being in that city is a species of mountaineering. The Thimphu airport (Paro) is so treacherous that only eight pilots in all the world are qualified to land there.

The river that flows from the Himalayas to the Arabian Sea is the Indus River. It is one of the longest rivers in Asia and passes through India and Pakistan on its way to the Arabian Sea.

The time of sunrise in the Himalayas can vary depending on the specific location and time of year. However, on average, the sun rises between 5:30 am to 6:30 am in the Himalayan region. It's recommended to check a reliable source for the exact sunrise time for your specific location and date.

Mount Everest is the highest point in the Himalayas mountain range.

They formed when India and Eurasia collided by plate movement. The rock densities were similar so they couldn't process through subduction, so instead they pushed upward forming the Himalayan Mountains.

Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Norgay Tenzing first climbed Mt Everest in May 1953. There are many people who climbed the Himalayas before them, but the duo reached the summit first.

Himalaya was the highest mountain in the world. Also Mt Everest was the biggest mountain in the world.

Mt Everest was named after Sir George Everest. But Sir George Everest died.

SO THIS IS interesting.
