The Himalayan Mountains are very useful for our country, India. Some of the significance of the Himalayan Mountains are listed below:
Importance:
They from a natural wall along the northern borders, which is difficult to cross. They also protect us from cold winds coming from the north.
The rivers originating from the Himalayas carry fertile soil from the mountains to the plains. They also help in generating hydroelectricity.
These mountains check the rain-bearing monsoon winds and thus cause enough rainfall in many parts of India.
The forests provide valuable wood and herbs and are also a natural home to many kinds of birds and animals.
Many health resorts and holy places have been developed, which are visited by thousands of people every year.

The geology of the Himalaya is a record of the most dramatic and visible creations of modern plate tectonic forces. The Himalayas, which stretch over 2400 km between the Namche Barwa syntaxis in Tibet and the Nanga Parbat syntaxis in India, are the result of an ongoing orogeny — the result of a collision between two continental tectonic plates. This immense mountain range was formed by tectonic forces and sculpted by weathering and erosion. The Himalaya-Tibet region supplies fresh water for more than one-fifth of the world population, and accounts for a quarter of the global sedimentary budget. Topographically, the belt has many superlatives: the highest rate of uplift (nearly 10 mm/year at Nanga Parbat), the highest relief (8848 m at Mt. Everest Chomolangma), among the highest erosion rates at 2–12 mm/yr,[3] the source of some of the greatest rivers and the highest concentration of glaciers outside of the polar regions. This last feature earned the Himalaya its name, originating from the Sanskrit for "the abode of the snow".
