__________________________
The mountains located in the north of India are non other than Great Himalayas. These mountains are called so because they are covered with full of Ice. These ranges run in the west - east direction of distance about 2400 kilometres. These Himalayas are separated with deep valleys between them.
The Himalayas are divided into three categories. They are :
》 Greater Himalayas / Himadri

》 Shivaliks
● Greater Himalayas : The highest mountains in Himalayas are called as Greater Himalayas or Himadri. These are of height about 4500+ mts above the sea level. These are composed of Snow and ice. These are highest mountains ever. Mount K2 is located in Greater Himalayas.
● Lesser Himalayas : The Lesser Himalayas are located in the south of Greater Himalayas. These have rugged relief. These are of height from 3500 - 4500 mts. The lesser Himalayas are consist of famous valley of Kashmir etc. The pripanjal and Mahabharata ranges are important ranges of this region.
● Shivaliks : These are the smallest mountains of height about 500 - 1000 mts. These are the south most mountains in the Himalayas. These are composed with hard rocks and gravel etc.
ADVANTAGES OF HIMALAYAS :

》The Himalayas are reason for monsoon type of rains in India.
》 If they are absent then India would remain drier.
》Many rivers flow from Himalayas which have perrinial flow.
》These bring lot of silt and make the plains fertile.
