What is the main reason for calling Shiwalik the Outer Himalaya?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is the southernmost and outermost Himalayan range

The direct answer is B. Shiwalik is called the Outer Himalaya because it is the southernmost and outermost of the three main Himalayan ranges. From north to south, the usual order is Himadri or Greater Himalaya, Himachal or Lesser Himalaya, and Shiwalik or Outer Himalaya. Shiwalik lies closer to the plains, so it is the outer belt when viewed from the Himalayan interior toward India’s plains. Option A is wrong because the northernmost range is Himadri, not Shiwalik. Option C is wrong because Shiwalik is a Himalayan mountain range, not a sea island. Option D is wrong because it is not part of the Peninsular Plateau. Memory cue: “Outer” and “southern” point to Shiwalik.
