This document discusses different types of mountains, including fold mountains, block mountains, and relict mountains. Fold mountains like the Himalayas are the highest mountains and formed by the folding of tectonic plates. Block mountains such as the Black Forest have flat tops and steep sides caused by faulting of the land. Relict mountains like the Aravalli Range result from weathering that leaves resistant rock behind. The Himalayas influence India's climate and ecology.

• 12000sq km in area.
• Danube is one river which originates
from this range.

11. Relict mountain
• Due to the weathering process ,some
soft rocks are not very resistance get
disintegrated. those resistant part
remains, These mountain are called

influence the flora and fauna of our
country
• Climate :- extreme cold wind from
central Asia is blocked by Himalaya
