Explanation:
The Himalayas, known as the “abode of snow” in Sanskrit, span portions of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, Bhutan, Nepal and Tibet. Parallel mountain ranges spread continuously for 1,500 miles (2,400 km), while the total area covered by the Himalayas is 230,000 square miles (595,000 square km). Mt. Everest, or Sagarmatha, translated as the “Goddess of the Universe” or “Forehead of the Sky,” towers at 29,029 ft. (8,484 m) above Nepal and Tibet, forming the highest peak on Earth. An additional 110 peaks break above 24,000 feet. These towering peaks create a barrier between the Plateau of Tibet to the north and the alluvial plains of the Indian subcontinent to the south.
Tectonic plate collisions between India and Tibet formed the Himalayas between 40 and 50 million years ago. The “abode of snow” is among the youngest mountain ranges worldwide, especially compared to older ranges such as the Appalachians. The Himalayas continue to grow by more than 1 cm per year, as continental plates continue their collision course. Weathering and erosion offset this growth, but the continued plate convergence creates frequent earthquakes and tremors.
In addition to the beauty of the towering peaks, the Himalayan mountain ranges provide a critical water supply for billions of people throughout Asia. Rivers that stem from the Himalayas include the Yangtze Ganga-Brahmaputra, Ganges, Indus, Yarlung, Yangtze, Yellow, Mekong, and Nujiang. Besides Antarctica and the Artic, the largest deposits of ice and snow exist in the Himalayas, giving the region the nickname the “third pole.” The largest glacier within the Himalayas is the Siachen Glacier, which measures nearly 50 miles in length. India also contains one of the largest and most extensive alluvial plains in the world, known as the Indo-Gangetic-Brahmaputra Plain. The unique and varied geography of the region contributes to the remarkable biodiversity and high levels of endemism.
The ecology of the Himalayan region transforms as elevation increases. Tropical and subtropical broadleaf forests are found at the base of the mountains. Because of variation in topography, weather, soils, and rainfall, these forests range from dry tropical evergreen to northern wet tropical forests. This tropical region is also home to endemic wildlife, including Asian elephants, tigers, and hundreds of bird species. With further increases in elevation, tropical forests give way to temperate broadleaf mixed forests. Monsoons contribute substantial rainfall to these forests, supporting the growth of orchids, lichen, and ferns amidst a dominant canopy of oak (Quercus) and maple (Acer). Wildlife abounds within these forests, including golden langur monkeys and hundreds of bird species, many of which are endemic to the region.
