Which animals are used on Mount Everest?

Due to the fact that the climate on Mount Everest is so harsh, it is no surprise that very little lives on the mountain itself. However, there are some things that have been found on Everest. Of course, the vast majority of these things have been found at the bottom of the mountain, but some are surprisingly much higher up. The Euophrys omnisuperstes is a small jumping spider that lives 22,000ft up Mount Everest. The Bar-Headed Goose has been seen flying around Everest at up to thirty thousand feet. Another bird that has been known to survive on Everest is the Chough, this bird has been seen as high as 7,920 meters.


Do mountains change size if so how?

Mountains are made by two tectonic plates moving into each other, causing them both two move upwards. As the world spins, the two tectonic plates crash into each other more and more, until they both move up a bit more. Example, Mount Everest grows two inches every year. Thanks, hopes this helps


How did mount Everest get there?

Millions of years ago India was separated from Asia. When the countrys started to move, India joined onto Asia. India pushed into Asia so hard that it pushed up a huge mountain range called the Himalayas,. India is still pushing into Asia to this day, which means that Mount Everest is still getting higher. As a result Mount Everest grows a quarter of an inch each year!!!It is thought that the summit of Mount Everest started at the bottom of the ancient Tethys Sea, the motion of the Indian subcontinental plate and the urasian continental plate colliding, about 30 - 50 million years ago, caused the mountain to rise up and become the highest mountain on the Earth.
