Answer:
Heyy mate.. here is your answer..
Explanation:
The name Himalaya means “abode of snow” in Sanskrit. The moisture for snowfall in this part of the range is delivered primarily by the summer monsoon. The mountains form a natural barrier that blocks monsoonal moisture from reaching the Tibetan Plateau to the north. This makes the plains south of the mountains green with vegetation, while much of the Plateau is brown and comparatively barren. This range contains some of the world’s tallest peaks. Mount Everest, for example, is just one of nine peaks in the area that stand taller than 8,000 meters (26,247 feet) in elevation. That's why all the Himalayan peaks always remain covered with snow.
This is the reason Himalayas are named so...
