Question

describe any five characterstics of the great himalayas

Answer 1

The Himalayan Mountains are a range of mountains situtuated to the North of India, spreading out through Pakistan and Nepal.

The most characteristic features of the Himalayas are their great height, the structure in which they stand tall, snowcapped peaks, beautiful glaciers, deep rivers that flow from the top, and rich vegetation. From south to north the Himalayan ranges can be grouped into four parallel belts of varying width namely the Outer, or Sub, Himalayas; the Lesser, or Lower, Himalayas. Viewed from the south, the Himalayas appear as a gigantic crescent with the main axis rising above the snow line, where snowfields, alpine glaciers, and avalanches all feed lower-valley glaciers that in turn constitute the sources of most of the Himalayan rivers. They are the tallest Mountain range on the entire earth.
