Answer 1

Landslides are frequent in Himalayas because:

Heavy snowfall in winter and melting in summer. ... Man-made activities like grazing, construction and cultivation abet soil erosion and risks of landslides. The Himalayas not yet reached its isostatic equilibrium which destabilizes the slopes. It leads to landslides.

Answer 2

Answer:

mostly tea and coffee is grown on slopes of mountains.

The Himalayan landscape, say geologists, is especially susceptible to landslides. The mountain range was formed due to the collision of Indian and Eurasian plates. The northward movement of the Indian plate causes continuous stress on the rocks, rendering them friable, weak and prone to landslides and earthquakes.
