Correct option is B
The correct answer is Pir Panjal-Zaskar-Ladakh-Karakoram
The Himalayan ranges from south to north are arranged in the following order:
·
Pir Panjal Range: This is the southernmost range and lies closer to the Kashmir Valley.
·
Zaskar Range: Located to the north of the Pir Panjal, forming a barrier between the Kashmir Valley and Ladakh.
·
Ladakh Range: Further north of Zaskar, leading towards higher and colder terrain.
·
Karakoram Range: The northernmost among the ranges mentioned, home to some of the highest peaks and largest glaciers outside the polar regions.
Thus, the correct south-to-north sequence is
Pir Panjal → Zaskar → Ladakh → Karakoram.
Information Bosoter:
· Kashmir or Northwestern Himalayas consist of several important ranges: Karakoram, Ladakh, Zaskar, and Pir Panjal.
· The northeastern part of Kashmir Himalayas is a cold desert, situated between the Greater Himalayas and the Karakoram Range.
· The Kashmir Valley and Dal Lake are located between the Great Himalayas and the Pir Panjal Range.
· Major glaciers of South Asia, such as Baltoro and Siachen, are found in this region, especially near the Karakoram Range.
· Karewa formations in the Kashmir Himalayas are fertile lacustrine deposits, important for the cultivation of Zafran (saffron).
Additional Knowledge:
·
Ladakh-Zaskar-Pir Panjal-Karakoram: The sequence is wrongly ordered; Ladakh comes after Zaskar, and Pir Panjal should be first from the south.
·
Karakoram-Ladakh-Zaskar-Pir Panjal: This sequence is reversed; Karakoram is the northernmost, not the southernmost.
