How could there be fish fossils on top of Mt. Everest?

Answer 1

Mt. Everest did not exist 10 million years ago. As the Indian Plate collided with the EuroAsia plate 80 million years ago the heavy ocean floor north of India acted like a giant anchor, plunging rapidly into the mantle, and dragging the Indian continent along with it, northward, towards Tibet as the plates collided, the sinking ocean floor generated volcanoes in southern Tibet because the rock at the top of the descending plate melted, from friction and the huge pressures of collision. However, by 25 million years ago the fast moving Indian continent had almost entirely closed over the intervening ocean, squeezing the sediments on the ocean foor. Since the sediments were lightweight, instead of sinking along with the plate, they crumpled into mountain ranges the Himalayas. This is why you have oceanic fossils of long dead sea animals in the Himalayan range the sediments the mountains formed from are from the ocean floor.

Answer 2

Fossils are found on Everest due to moving plates. Mountains are made by plates pushing together, causing the earth to push as well, and ending up with large piles of earth. This happens everywhere, and mountains and countries are formed places even where it is mainly a large expanse of water. This causes dead Sea creatures to be carried up too, causing the remainders to be found several million years later.

In this case, Everest was formed when India's' and Asia's plates crashed together.

People have said that this is due to Noah's flood; however scientific evidence points that actually the cause of fossils being found on Everest was actually plate tectonics. It is the same sort of effect if you push together the sides of a peace of paper of material- the section in the middle will rise up- this is the mountain.

Answer 3

Noah's Flood is the main logical explanation as to why this is so. First, Mt. Everest didn't exist before the Flood. Psalm 104 says the mountains arose & the valley's sank down during the last parts of the flood. Also, these seashells are found PETRIFIED in the closed position. The only to keep a clam from opening up, dead, would be to BURY IT ALIVE. Noah's Flood caused much destruction most logically resulted in the Fossil Record we see today, and why the Earth looks "old". Uniformitarian teaches try to explain away the earth's current looks with "millions of years", no. Doesn't work. Seashells being found on top of Mt. Everest is just one of the most embarrassing findings to the unscientific theory of evolution.

Answer 4

Because the rocks that now occur near the top of Mount Everest were laid down in an Ocean in which there were fish living. Since then the rock which made the floor of that ocean (in which the fish were fossilized) has been pushed up to form the Himalayas as the sub continent of India moved north to crash into Asia, closing the ocean and pushing up the mountains.

Answer 5

You first have to ask, "what makes mountains".

Mountain ranges are not permanent, they build up when two tectonic plates collide.

The Himalayan Mountains were caused by India moving north and colliding with Asia. This means that there used to be an ocean between them and at the bottom of that ocean were sediments containing fossils. As they collided, the sediments between them were slowly squeezed, folded and pushed up onto the land as a mountain range, including their fossils. The mountains are still growing and at the same time being eroded. Other mountain ranges have similar stories to tell with some variation.
