Why is Shiwalik called the outer range of the Himalayas?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is the southernmost and outer belt of the Himalayas

The governing concept is the longitudinal arrangement of the Himalayan ranges from north to south. The Shiwalik, or Outer Himalaya, lies on the southern margin of the Himalayan system and is the range closest to the northern plains. It is generally lower and geologically younger than the Himadri and Himachal ranges. Therefore, option A correctly explains why it is called the outer range. The Deccan Plateau, Western Ghats and Aravalli are separate physiographic units and do not define the Shiwalik. The word outer refers to its position at the Himalayan foothill edge, not to a sandy or coastal character.
