Question

my question is how himalayas are useful to us

Answer 1

The Himalayas are a great climatic barrier. They save our country from the cold and dry winds of Central Asia, It also prevents the rain-laden monsoon winds of Indian Ocean from crossing over to Northern countries and causes heavy rain-fall in the Northern India. If there were no Himalayas, our country would have been barren like the Thar Desert. The Himalayas are the source of all the great rivers of Northern India. In summer the snow on the Himalayas melts and provides water to these rivers through­out the year. The water of these rivers is used for irrigation and for producing electricity. The rivers also bring new fertile soil with them, deposit it in the plains and make them fertile. The Himalayan slopes have dense forests. Trees of many types grow in these forests. These forests are a store-house of timber and wood. These forests provide shelter to many kinds of wild animals and birds. Many useful herbs which are used as medicines grow on the slopes of Himalayas. Tea is also grown on the Himalayan slopes. India is a big producer of tea.
