The Mount Kailash is situated in the western Tibetan plateau of the northernmost region of the Himalayas. Four rivers originate from Mount Kailash: the Indus, the Brahmaputra, the Karnali and the Sutlej.

The shape of bays and estuaries along a coastline can also magnify the intensity of tides.
The position of both the sun and the moon in relation to the earth has direct bearing on tide height. When the sun, the moon and the earth are in a straight line, the height of the tide will be higher. These are called spring tides and they occur twice a month, one on full moon period and another during new moon period. Normally, there is a seven-day interval between the spring tides and neap tides. At this time the sun and moon are at right angles to each other and the forces of the sun and moon tend to counteract one another.

Siachen glacier lies in the Karakoram Range system which is a part of western Himalayas. Lies to the south of the zone that separates Eurasion Plate with the Indian Plate, which is the result of convergence boundary interaction in geographical terms. The glacier is the source of many rivers including Nubra River, a tributary of Shyok, which is a part of the Indus River System.
The region is also a home to rare species of snow leopard, brown bear etc which may be affected by military presence. This has led to talks in international forums about creating a “Peace Park” in the area and demilitarise it.

Sarayu flows through Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh. This river is of ancient significance, finding mentions in the Vedas and the Ramayana.
The Sarayu originates from Lake Mansarovar in the Himalayas and is also known as the Ghaghra and the Manas Nandini. It merges with the Ganga in Bihar’s Saran district.
It forms at the confluence of the Karnali and Mahakali in Bahraich District. Ayodhya is situated on the banks of this river. It flows through the Kumaon himalayas.

The temperature of ocean water varies in the northern and the southern hemispheres because of dominance of land in the northern hemisphere and water in the southern hemisphere.
The oceans in the northern hemisphere receive more heat due to their contact with larger extent of land than their counterparts in the southern hemisphere and thus the temperature of surface water is comparatively higher in the northern hemisphere than the southern hemisphere.
