Answer 1

Answer:

Himalayas act as the natural boundary for Indian sub-continent. ... If the Himalayas would not have been where they are now, many areas of the country wouldn't have moderate subtropical climate all the year round. Cold winds would have reduced the temperature below zero in winters along with heavy snow.

Answer 2

1) The Himalayas affect the climate of India by blocking cold air blowing from the North that comes from Siberia and Central Asia.

2) Without the Himalayas, India would get cold temperature in the winter months.

4) The Himalayas are reason for summer rains and monsoon type climate in the regions that are beyond the Western Ghats of India.

5) In its absence this region would have remained drier.

6) India would have been a tropical desert.
