Question

What is the influence of thr Himalayas on india agriculture

Answer 1

The mighty rivers originating from the Himalayas like Ganges, Indus, etc. contribute to forming the plains in India which is highly fertile. 2. The Himalayasobstruct the monsoon clouds. Hence, the plains are provided with a lot of rainfall.

Answer 2

himalayas play more significant role in indian agriculture especially the north indian floodplains:
1.Their glaciers like gangotri, yamnotri have provided the country with one of the largest river systems.
2. Since himalayas are young fold mountains and made of sedimentary rocks, the rivers see higher erosion and eventual floodplains are formed which happen to be the biggest agricultural states in the country.
3. Western disturbance is important for rabi crops like wheat that provides the needed moisture.
4. They also act as a barrier for summer rainfall where the southwest monsoon would have otherwise passed over from India.
