Causes for landslide in Himalayan region
Himalayan Region is Tectonically active region
The Himalayan range is one of the world’s newest tertiary fold mountains.
The Himalayas were formed by the convergence of the Indian and Eurasian plates.
The Himalayas are still growing and gaining height. The Himalayas are thus a tectonically active mountain chain. Tectonic movement causing frequent earthquakes and landslides.
Intense rainfall: The monsoon season brings heavy rainfall to the region in short span of time that create the situation of cloudburst. As a result, it leads to saturating the soil and increasing the likelihood of landslides.
Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs): The sudden release of water from glacial lakes can trigger landslides in the surrounding areas.
Hence option 3rd is correct.
