Answer 2

Shivalik ranges are more prone to landslides and earthquakes because:

i. They are weak in nature as they are formed of alluvium, gravel and sediments.

ii. They are located at the convergent tectonic plates of Eurasian and Indo-Australian plates which is a threat for landslides.

iii. The formation of the Shiwalik Mountains from unconsolidated sediments is the biggest reason for earthquakes and landslides.
