Question

explain the correlation between himalayas and mass movement.give example wherever necessary​

Answer 1

Answer: The region is shadowed from the Indian summer monsoon by high elevation areas of the Himalaya to the south and the Karakoram mountain range to the north; both act as orographic barriers, creating an arid environment (Maybe this will help you) :)

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Mass movement and Himalayas are closely related as the process of orogenesis.

Explanation:

• The mass movement of Himalayas is scale-dependent on the entire extension of massive ranges due to the acts of gravity and plate tectonics.

• The glacier that contains the third-largest share of ice and snow in the world remains snowbound throughout the year and as a result, when the snow melts the mass movements in the form of avalanches take place.

• Having a rugged and complex topography, experience a wide range of climates. The northern side is windy and rugged thus chances of mass movement due to gravity pull and weight of the overlying layers when they break free leads to the mass weathering and wasting.

• Also, Himalayas are believed to moving continents and reaching greater heights of 1.2 cm per day though it's slow but active.
