Question

Give reason for the question:
1. The snow that falls in Winter on the south-facing slope of the Himalayas melts more quickly than that on the north-facing slope.
PLEASE ANSWER THE CORRECT ONE AND IN SIMPLE SENTENCE
​

Answer 1

Answer:

During winters, the sun is always towards the South and the northern facing parts of any mountains are in shadow. Since the southern slope of the Himalayas faces sun most of the time, its snow melts more quickly than the north facing slopes.

Answer 2

This is true of any mountain in the Northern hemisphere.

In winter, the sun is always towards the South and the northern facing parts of any mountain are in perpetual shadow. However, in summer, the sun will not migrate as much to the North as it migrated to the South in winter.

The very vegetation and ecosystem of the forests on the north and south sides of a mountain tend to be different due to this variation of sunlight.

Hope this'll help you.
