Question

explain the importance of the Himalayas and the Indian ocean with respect to the climate of india

Answer 1

The Himalayas are a great climatic barrier. They save our country from the cold and dry winds of Central Asia, It also prevents the rain-laden monsoon winds of Indian Ocean from crossing over to Northern countries and causes heavy rain-fall in the Northern India.

Answer 2

Answer:

The importance of Himalayas and the Indian Ocean with respect to the climate of India can

be explained as follows :

(1) The Indian Ocean and Himalayan ranges play an important role in formation of

southeast monsoon winds.

(2) In summers, the temperature in Punjab Plains and the Thar desert is found to be high.

As its effect, the areas of low pressure are developed.

(3) On the other hand, the areas of high pressure are found in the Indian Ocean. This leads

to formation and flowing of southeast monsoon winds from the Indian Ocean to the mainland

of India.

(4) These winds are moisture-laden and so they bring rainfall in India.

(5) Himalayas saves India by obstructing the passage of very cold winds from the north into

India in winter.

(6) The southwest monsoon winds flow from the south to the north and reaches towards the

Himalayas.

(7) These winds are obstructed by the Himalayas. Due to obstruction, these winds change

their direction and start flowing from the northeast to the Indian Ocean.

(8) The return journey of these winds bring the retreating monsoon in peninsular region of

India
