The Basic Possible Impacts of Climate Change in the Himalayas
<p>Climate Change in the Himalayas is a major topic of worry for climate watchers in the Subcontinent and across the world. The Himalayas have the largest deposits of snow and ice in the world outside the Polar Regions and is often referred to as the ‘Third Pole’ and also as the ‘Water Tower of Asia’.</p>
Prominent Mountain Passes in India
<p>Some of the highest peaks in the world are present in the Himalayas, which lie south of the Tibetan Plateau. India also has many other mountain ranges such as the Karakoram Range, the Aravali Range and many other minor ranges in the Deccan Plateau.</p>
Climate Change in the Southern Ocean
<p>Climate Change in the Southern Ocean thus is principally relevant when the huge volume of water it possesses stores greater heat and carbon dioxide than any other stretch of latitudinal area in the world. Like in the Arctic Ocean, sea ice also forms in the Southern Ocean in areas reaching up to three times the size of Australia.</p>
