Description
Summary:	It is the tallest and biggest mountain on earth, as far removed from sea level as it's possible to be-and yet its sedimentary layers contain fossils that were once creatures that lived on the ocean seabed. The Himalayas formed when India smashed into Asia-propelled by plate tectonics. Everest is still rising but its height is limited-extreme erosion counteracts and limits the amount of uplift.
