Question

Give five ways in which the Himalayas act as a boon to India

Answer 1

1) The Himalayan rivers bring rich silt from the mountains and deposit in the plains below. This silt has made the northern plains very fertile. 

2) There is a lot of snowfall in the higher regions of the mountains. The snow melts in summer. The rivers like the Ganga and Brahmaputra which rise among these ranges are fed by the waters of the melting snow. These rivers never dry up in the hot summer months. 

3) These mountains with their high peaks and deep ravines are difficult to cross. Therefore, they prevented many invaders from easily invading our country. 

4) They block the rain bearing monsoon winds from the Arabian sea and the bay of Bengal. Therefore, the North Indian plains receive plenty of rainfall. 

5) They protect India from the cold, biting winds blowing from North Asia. So, the winters of North India are milder than those beyond the mountains.
