Question

"If the Himalayas would have not been in its present position, there would not be Indo gangetic plains in India". Do you agree with the above statement? in 5 points​

Answer 1

I do not agree with the statement, there will be the presence of the plains but extreme climate.

• If the Himalayas were not present, the moisture-laden wind would have gone farther north instead of pouring in the northern plains, leaving India without rain.
• The Indo-Gangetic Plain would be bereft of vast alluvial soils if the Himalayan mountains did not exist.
• Most parts of the nation will be struck by cold waves from Siberia, and the monsoon pattern would be different than it is now.
• In addition, the monsoon winds that reach India collide with the Himalayas, bringing rain to the northern plains.
• Furthermore, on the northern plains, there would have been no snow fed rivers as well.
