Sub-Himalayan Range
The Sub-Himalayan Range is the southernmost mountains in the Himalayan range, located on the Indian subcontinent. Their average height varies between 600 and 1200 meters, and are not so high in altitude as compared to other mountain ranges in the Himalaya range.
Himalayan foothills form the sub-Himalayan zone. Located from Punjab region to the Indian state of Assam. These hills are consist of a narrow belt of folded neogene molasse type sediments. Southward, the folded siwaliks sequence is covered by Indo-Gangetic Plain alluvium. An acute fault is "Himalayan front fault" cut the alluvium in foothill region, this fault is a series of en-echelon faults which are parallel to the strike of the hills between Punjab and Assam. Northward, this sequence is terminated by MBT, which is a set of north dipping faults and forms the boundary between Southern Himalayas and Lesser Himalayas. Siwalik Hills and Sub‐Himalayan region is home to the Soanian archaeological culture.
