Question

why does the southern slopes of Himalayas have thick forest cover as compared to Northern Himalayas

Answer 1

Hey Mate here's your answer,

The growth of vegetation depends upon the amount sunlight and rainfall received. The southern slopes of theHimalayas receive more rain due to thesouth west monsoon winds which travel west along the southern slops. ... So the southern slopes are covered with thick vegetation as compared to the northern slopes.

Hope this helped you

Answer 2

because of high altitude the northern slopes have less temperature and due to that they have less vegetation. But southern part due to higher temperature than the northern part has suitable conditions for growth of forests.
