Detailed Solution

The Himalayas protects the Indian subcontinent from extremely cold wind from central Asia. India has mountains in the north that are usually around 6,000 metres high. India also has a coast region with an altitude of nearly 30 metres. The Himalayas block Central Asian cold winds from reaching the Indian subcontinent. Winters on this subcontinent are often milder than those in central Asia due to these mountains. The Himalayan mountain ranges create a climate barrier separating Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent. The steep Himalaya Mountains provide a barrier that impacts Indian weather, preventing the bloodless winds of north Asia from sweeping into India and protecting it from harsh bloodless winters.
