Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transhumance is a type of pastoralism or nomadism, a seasonal movement of livestock between fixed summer and winter pastures. In montane regions (vertical transhumance), it implies movement between higher pastures in summer and lower valleys in winter. Herders have a permanent home, typically in valleys.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transhumance, the seasonal droving of livestock among migratory routes in the Mediterranean and Alps, is a form of pastoralism. Every year in spring and autumn, thousands of animals are driven by groups of herders along steady routes from dawn to dusk.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transhumance: It is a seasonal movement of people. People who rear animals move in search of new pastures according to changes in seasons.

Detailed explanation-4: -Another type of herding is called transhumance. Transhumance herders follow a seasonal migration pattern, usually moving to cool highlands in the summer and warmer lowlands in the winter. Unlike nomads, these herders move between the same two locations, where they have permanent settlements.
