Question

Give the location of Aravali Hills .Also mention one feature of these hills.

Answer 1

Hint:It constitutes one of the oldest fold mountain ranges of the world. The Gurushikhar peak of the Abu Hills is the highest point of the range.The Delhi Ridge is included as the Aravali's northernmost part.

Complete answer:
The Aravalli Range (also spelled Aravali) is a mountain range in Northwestern India, running approximately six hundred ninety km in a south-west direction, starting near Delhi, passing through southern Haryana and Rajasthan, and ending in Gujarat.The eight hundred km-long range stretching from the north-east to the south-west of India separates the semi-desert regions of Rajasthan from the fertile Udaipur and Jaipur regions.In Rajasthan, the Aravali Range is parallel to the direction of the South West Monsoon winds. So it is unable to stop the moisture laden winds. This makes Rajasthan a dry area.Relief plays an important role in the climatic conditions of India. The southern hills of Assam get heavy rainfall but the northern ones do not. This is because the southern hills force the moisture laden winds to shed their moisture before they proceed northwards.

Note:Varied Relief: Relief plays an important role in the climatic conditions of India. The Western Ghats get heavy rainfall on western side because they stand in the way of South West Monsoon winds which come from the Arabian Sea. On the other hand, the Deccan Plateau gets less rainfall as it lies in the rain shadow area of the Western Ghats.
