Which mountain is not the part of Himalayan range?
A. Aravalli
B. Kunlun
C. Karakoram
D. Hindukush
Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The Himalayan range is a vast mountain system in Asia, primarily associated with the collision of the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate, forming several sub-ranges and adjacent systems.Aravalli is not part of the Himalayan range; it is an older, separate mountain range located in western India, primarily in Rajasthan, formed by ancient tectonic processes unrelated to the Himalayas.
Kunlun lies to the north of the Himalayas in the Tibetan Plateau and is geologically linked to the broader Himalayan system, though it is distinct, it is often considered in the context of Himalayan tectonics.
Karakoram is a sub-range closely associated with the Himalayas, located on the India-China-Pakistan border, and is part of the greater Himalayan orogeny.
Hindukush extends westward from the Himalayas, forming a connected mountain system in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and is also tied to the Himalayan tectonic activity.
Thus, Option A: Aravalli is the correct answer as it is the only mountain range not part of or directly linked to the Himalayan system.
