Why did mountain pastoralists go to higher areas in summer?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: High pastures became available after the snow melted
In summer, melting snow opened the high mountain pastures and fresh grass became available. Pastoralists moved uphill so that their animals could graze there. Railway fares or trade were not reasons for this seasonal movement. Exam tip: remember summer—high pastures; winter—lower areas.
