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.
