The idea
What is The Himalayas?
The Himalayas are the world's highest mountain range, stretching about 2,400 kilometres in an arc from the Indus to the Brahmaputra. They formed, and are still rising, as the Indian plate pushes north into the Eurasian plate, folding the sediments of the former Tethys Sea. The range has three parallel belts, the Greater Himalaya with Everest and Kangchenjunga, the Lesser Himalaya and the Shiwaliks, and it blocks cold winds, traps the monsoon and feeds the great rivers from its glaciers.
Where it appears: Class 9 NCERT Geography (Physical Features of India), CBSE and ICSE, state boards, UPSC prelims.
Where learners get stuck
Why The Himalayas is hard
Learners cannot order the three ranges from north to south or match peaks and passes to them, and they know the Himalayas are fold mountains without being able to explain the collision that folded them.
The picture a good explanation starts with: A north-to-south cross-section from the Tibetan plateau through the Greater and Lesser Himalaya and Shiwaliks to the plains, with the Indian plate shown pushing underneath.
