Question

What if India never had Himalayan mountains? How would the geographic and climatic conditions be different? (Any four points)

Answer 1

Answer:

India would face the following if there was no Himalayas:

• Himalayas are known as the Natural Barrier.
• Rain bearing monsoon winds from the Arabian sea and the bay of Bengal would enter India.
• The cold winds from the central Asia would enter.
• It would be easy for the invaders to invade India as there are no Himalayas which act like a defence barrier.

Answer 2

The Himalayas, a 'mountain range in Asia' that divides the 'Tibetan Plateau' from the plains of the 'Indian subcontinent'. The Himalayas extend across India's north-east. It covers around 1,500 mi (2,400 kilometers) and traverses the countries of India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bhutan, Nepal, and China. The Himalayan line consists of 3 parallel ranges, also known as the Major Himalayas and the Lesser Himalayas.

EXPLANATION:

The Himalayas serve as India's main climate control. The cold winds from the Artic areas are blocked. The winds were moving from north to south. These winds can cause changes in temperature in different regions of India. The average height of the Himalayan mountains is 4000 to 6000 m, avoiding the winds on their northern side. This affects Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya, Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, etc. The subtropical climate can be mild all year round. In the Indian subcontinent, Himalayas also triggers the monsoon. Blocked by Himalayas are the Monsoon winds coming from Bay of Bengal north. In India, it triggers precipitation. The average rainy season lasts between June and September for three to four months. Agricultural activity is encouraged by sufficient rainfall and millions of employees are employed. Rainfall is a gift of the Himalayas in much of India.

When Himalayas do not exist, the climate in India will be affected adversely. In most of the states of northern India, the cold winds could have created snow. In these regions, temperatures for winter would be lower than-2 ° C. The weather would also have been affected. The currents of the monsoon would have swept northward. In North India the rainfall season would be limited to one month in one year. The climate would have been the same in eastern India as in northern India. During winters with snowfall, the state of Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Odisha would also have been cold. The climate would not have suffered much in Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and so on but must face a problem with less rainfall as the Himalayas are not present..
