ANIMALS AND PLANTS PLANTS Oak Pine Fir Rhododendron Birch Juniper Deodar

CLIMATE IN THE HIMALAYAS The Himalayas Alpine climate varies according to the elevation. It gets colder as the elevation increases and gets wetter as the elevation drops. As a result the temperature and climatic changes in the Himalayas regions change very quickly. All of a sudden there can be occurances of monsoons, floods, high winds, snowstorms and other types of precipitation, which makes the climate over here quiet an unpredictable and dangerous one.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ANDES AND THE HIMALAYAS The Andes is 22,241 feet above sea level and the Himalayas is over 25,000 feet above sea level.
