Mountain Barriers- Mountain ranges also affect the climate of any region to a great extent.

India is separated from rest of Asia by the impenetrable wall of Himalayas which has an average height of 6000m.

These ranges protect India from bitterly cold and dry winds from the Siberian region during the winter. Without this wall, India would have been a cold desert.

Further, these mountains also check rain-bearing South-West Monsoon winds and compel them to shed their moisture in India.

Similarly, Western Ghats force rain-bearing winds to cause heavy rainfall on the Western slopes of the Western Ghats.
