Answer 2

Answer:

Himalayas act as a natural barrier for India because:

• They block the rain bearing monsoon winds from the Arabian sea and the bay of Bengal. Therefore the north indian plains receive plenty of rainfall.
• It prevents from the cold winds from the central Asia entering into India.
• The Himalayas have been protecting india from outside invaders since the early times thus serving as a defence barrier.
