Himalayan Impact

The Himalayas are not only rising in height but also play a crucial role in shaping the climate and ecosystem of the region. They block cold winds to the north, creating a warmer climate in northern India while generating the vital summer monsoons that provide 75% of the country's annual rainfall. Additionally, the mountains' snowmelt feeds major rivers, including the Indus, Brahmaputra, and Ganges, which are essential for agriculture and sustenance in India.
