What makes the Himalayan Mountains of South Asia distinctive?
Apart from having Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world, the Himalayas was formed by the Indian Plate crashing into the Asian plate and being forced beneath the Asian plate. This collision resulted in the formation of the Himalayan Range, which is still slowly rising today.
How was Mount Everest built?
Mount Everest was not built by people, but formed by natural processes. Everest, along with the rest of the Himalayas was formed as India slowly collided with mainland Asia over the course of millions of years, forcing the land upward. The collision continues to this day, and Everest is still growing at a few millimeters per year.

Mount Everest is reputed to be still rising due to the collision between the Indian and Asian tectonic plates, which caused the formation of the Himalayas. Weathering (erosion) is happening all the time.

What are the reasons for the sea levels rising faster in the east of the UK where many lowlands are located?
Sea levels in southern and eastern England are rising faster than other parts of the world because the land itself is sinking. In contrast sea levels in northern UK will be lower because the land there is still rising. Glaciers there more than 10,000 years ago forced the land down with their great weight of ice. When the ice melted the land slowly began rising again, and it's still rising.
