Why are the northern slopes of Himalayas cooler than its southern slopes?
उत्तर
The Northern Slopes of Himalayas is away from the Sun. These slopes get oblique rays. These slopes are exposed to cold winds. These are shady slopes and are cooler. But the Southern Slopes are Sun facing slopes. These get Sun’s rays more directly and also for longer periods. These are Sunny slopes and shelters from cold winds. So the Southern Slopes of Himalayas are warmer than northern slopes.
