Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The southern slopes of a Himalayan region indeed have thick vegetation cover compared to the northern slope of the same hill. The reason can be obvious because the thick vegetation needs a suitable climate with adequate rainfall and temperature. The southern slopes are in low altitudes and have a high temperature compared to the northern slopes, which have high altitudes and low temperatures. It has been found that in the higher altitudes of low temperature, dry winds are more prevalent, which results in less rainfall because these dry winds take away the moisture of clouds.
