Himalaya Mountains | Form The Himalayan Mountain Ranges

Himalaya Mountains

The Himalayas highest mountain range in the world as a whole, which is made up of a parallel set of mountain ranges, which operate on the separation of the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau, which is a great arc body in the stretch, and is made up of modern several mountains in the composition, And the advantage of being elevated sharply , with a length of about two thousand and four hundred and ten kilometers.

 And pass these mountains to the south of Asia, specifically Afghanistan, is moving to the west up to the Tibetan plateau to the east, one of the mountains that drops them large amounts of rain, so as to rise and sprawl cross her, and the word Himalaya means in Sanskrit ice headquarters.

 Along the chain

 Himalayas her series along with many countries China, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Bhutan and Afghanistan, and is the main source of several rivers and is the Indus River, which originates from the northern side of the Himalayas, the Ganges, a river that passes through the north side of the plains of India, and flows directly into the Gulf of Bengal, and consists of several tributaries originate from the southern slopes of the constituent of the Himalayas, as well as the Brahmaputra River which is a tributary of the Ganges River, which flows from the Himalayas to pass a large valley, to meet in the end the River Ganges at Delta its own, and the Yangtze River who stems from the Eastern Himalayas, and flows directly in the China Sea, and in addition to Hwang River, a river that flows from the eastern slopes of the heights of the Himalayas mountain range.

Constitute series

Formed the Himalayas as a result of the occurrence of what is known to derail the continents, which produces the movement caused by two plates of the two continents Specific And Movement be convergent  , and the estimated time period, which was formed out of these mountains as a pre-40_50 million years, when a confluence of large earth stations two blocks, because of the slide, which happened sheet floor, because these two blocs have enjoyed too close to the density of the rock component to them, so was unable to either eliminate the other and sink it to the bottom, leading to relieve the pressure on the sheet resulting from the collision between the two, and a rise in the blocks to the upper body, this process led to the formation of The Himalayan mountain range.

 Series components

 Himalayas are characterized as being composed of several parallel mountain ranges and three series numbering, namely:

Semi-Himalayan mountain range, which is one of the smaller chains in size, where reaches a height of about 1,200 m.

Low-Himalayan mountain range, where the height of the series between 200_5000m.

High Himalayan mountain range and the distinction of being the highest mountain ranges, consisting of the Himalayas, where an estimated height of more than 6000 m, which is located on the north side of the aforementioned chains.
