Question

Why is The Himalayan mountains called Himadri, Himachal and Shiwalik according to the the northern, southern and outter regions respectively?

Answer 1

Dear student,

The Himalayas are divided into three parallel ranges:

• Himadri
• Himachal
• Shiwalik

This is done to categorise the flora and fauna according to the height of these parallel ranges. One range has a uniformity in temperature, pressure, flora and fauna. These are the names given to these categorisation.
