the earth's surface is made up of tectonic plates, due to convection currents these plates are moving all the time
because of this you have huge tectonic plates pushing against each other.
the cause of earth quakes is tectonic plates rubbing against each other, eventually these plates push up wards founing huge mountain vistas such as the himilayas.
these plates keep moving and this is whay mount Everest grows 4 inches or so every year (might be 4 millimeters)
There are a lot of earthquake in Himalayas since Indian plate and Eurasian plate push against each other and Himalayas in between
After the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan, studies indicated that the Himalayas rose by about 2 to 3 meters in certain areas. This uplift was a result of tectonic movements associated with the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates. The earthquake’s magnitude and the resulting stress on the Earth's crust contributed to this geological change. Overall, the uplift is part of the ongoing geological processes in this seismically active region.
Himalayas fed the Indus River from its runoffs.
It is thought that Mount Everest and the Himalayas started at the bottom of the ancient Tethys Sea, the motion of the Indian sub continental 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.
The Himalayas make the river flow south

Earthquake zones are typically located along tectonic plate boundaries, including regions such as the Pacific Ring of Fire, the Himalayas, the San Andreas Fault in California, and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. These zones experience frequent seismic activity due to the movement and collision of tectonic plates.
Cocos plate and the African plate
detonate an atom bomb.. but even that is a fire cracker compared to a real earthquake.
A man was walking down the road when suddenly his sentence was interrupted by the earthquake.
