Question

briefly describe about the Himalaya mountain

Answer 1

Himalayas are the young fold mountain system formed by the folding of sedimentary rocks accumulated in the geosyncline called Tethys.They form an unstable zone and have deep valleys, high peaks and fast flowing rivers. They stretch from Indus to Brahmaputra, with a length of 2400 km. 

1. Great Himalayas or HIMADRI
They are the most continuous upper layer of the Himalayas with an average altitude of 6000 m containing all the prominent Himalayan peaks. This range is snow bound all year round and a number of rivers originate from the glaciers in this range. 

2. Lesser Himalayas or HIMACHAL
They are the second layer of the Himalayas with an average altitude of 3700-4500 m and width of 50 km. Major ranges are Pir Panjal, Dhaula Dhar and Mahabharat. 

3. Outer most Himalayas or SHIWALIKS
Average width of 10-50 km and average altitude of 900-1100 m.

*ANSWER*

➡️Himalayan mountain range is extended in about 2500 km from jammu and kashmir in North- West to arunachal pradesh in the east. it's width varies from 400 km in kashmir to 150 km in arunachal. it appears as an arc in northern part.

⭕The himalayas are young fold mountains of comparatively recent origin.

⭕They are the highest mountains on the world.Mount everest , the highest peak of the world , lies in himalaya.

⭕Many great rivers like Indus , the ganga , and the Brahmaputra originate from the Himalayas.

⭕The Himalayas are formed of the sedimentary rocks.

⭕They are formed at the edge of the plain , I.e. the indo-gangetic plain.

⭕Important hillstations like Dalhousie , dharamshala , shimla , masoori , nainital and Darjeeling are found on the Himalayas.

➡️The Himalayas has three main divisions-:

1.The greater himalaya -

These are the ranges which are always snow capped.These ranges contains several high peaks which exceed 8000 metres above sea level.These are also called 'The Himadari'.

2. The middle Himalayas -

These ranges lie between great Himalayas.Their altitude varies from 3700 and 4500 metres.There are alternating ridges and valleys among these ranges.These are also called 'Himachal Himalayas'.

3. The outer himalayas -

These are foot hill ranges of Himalayas. Their altitude varies between 900 to 1100 metres.They are also called 'Shivalik range'. Two problems with the shivalik range are that it is prone to earthquake and landslides and soil eroison is worst in these areas.
