Himaalayaas

himalayas=Him+Alaya (as per sanskrit) Him = Snow Alaya = Place

Himalayas are known not only to India, but also to the neighboring countries like China, Tibet and Nepal. Recently the Himalayas stopped Growing? This caused the geologists to think differently about scientific explorations in this region. "We used to think that it would keep rising as long as the extrusion would continue, but in the exploration, we found several north-south valleys, which suggested the tensile force from the movement of Eurasian Plate itself," a well-known geologist, Bian Qiantao said. "According to our calculation, the extrusion force and tensile force have come to an equilibrium, so the mountains, as well as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, will not grow any more. In fact, they will become shorter in the future due to erosion," Bian, with the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said. Some geologists once predicted that all the glaciers in the Himalayas will melt away within 50 years because of global warming, but this is too pessimistic to be true. According to the statistics collected during the latest exploration, the glaciers will remain there in the future, although their scale will become somewhat smaller, he said. http://www.indianpad.com/view/19253
