What is the important role of the Himalaya in India's climate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Blocking cold Central Asian winds and influencing monsoon winds

The Himalaya acts as a massive mountain barrier. It largely prevents very cold winds from Central Asia from entering India, making winters in northern India less severe. It also forces monsoon winds to rise, helping them produce rainfall. India is not separated from the sea; the Indian Ocean lies to its south. Exam tip: Remember the Himalaya’s two key climatic effects—blocking cold winds and helping monsoon rainfall.
