hey mate,
here is the answer,
___________________________________________
The three parallel ranges of the Himalayas are:
- Himadri (Greater or Inner Himalayas)
- It is the most continuous range.
- The northernmost range is called the Himadri.
- It consists of loftiest peaks with an average height of 6,000 metres.
- It contains all the prominent peaks.
- It remains snow covered throughout the year, resulting into the formation of glaciers and some perennial rivers.
- Himachal (Lesser Himalayas)
- It lies to the south of Himadri and forms the most rugged mountain system.
- The ranges are mainly composed of highly compressed and altered rocks.
- Average height is between 3,700 to 4,500 metres.
- Some famous ranges are the Pir Panjal range, Dhaula Dhar and Mahabharat ranges.
- It has some famous valleys like Kullu, Kangra and Kashmir.
- They are known for their hill stations.
- The average width is 50 Km.
- Shivaliks (Outer Himalayas)
- This is the outermost range of the Himalayas. Its height varies between 900 and 1,100 metres.
- These ranges are composed of unconsolidated rock material, so these ranges are prone to earthquakes and landslides.
- These longitudinal valleys lying between lesser Himalayas and Shivaliks are called ‘Duns’ like Dehra Dun, Kotli Dun and Patlin Dun, etc.
