Hello!!!

Here's the answer to your question....

→The Shiwalik Range ( or Outer Himalayas ) are prone to landslides as a result of its parent rock: unconsolidated rock material. 
Therefore, what leads to the Shiwalik Range being made of unconsolidated rock material is inherently what leads to landslides. 
These reasons are:
1) heavy rainfall
2) prone to earthquakes
3) extensive deforestation 

All the above factors lead to extensive erosion which lead to landslides

Hope this helps ....

The shiwaliks ranges are still in the process of folding. This is the the youngest range of the Himalayas formed by unconsolidate rock material. Therefore these ranges are prone to earthquake and landslides.
