Detailed explanation-2: -Notes: The Himalayas act as a climatic divide between India and Central Asia. During winter, Himalayas protect India from cold and dry air masses of Central Asia. During monsoon months these mountain ranges act as an effective physical barrier for rain bearing south-west monsoon winds.
