Question

Explain the reason for the formation of snow in Himalayas and its absence in Karnataka

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is that the air above is too warm to form snow crystals. The reason for that is because southern India is too far south for blasts from the north, plus the Himalayan Mountains protect in considerable degree the worst weather cases of cold transfer. Plus the mountains are too low for the above conditions. Anywhere on Earth will have snow occasionally if at about 4,000 meters.
