It is thought that the summit of Mount Everest 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.

Mount Everest is not a fault block mountain; it is a fold mountain. It was formed through convergent tectonic plate movement, where the Indian Plate is colliding with the Eurasian Plate, causing the Himalayan mountain range to rise up. Fault block mountains are formed from the uplift of large blocks of the Earth's crust along fault lines.

Does mount Everest erupt?
No, Mt. Everest is not a volcanic mountain and therefore it does not erupt. Mt. Everest is part of the Himalayas and this mountain range was formed by the squashing of an ancient sea floor between the Continent of Asia and the Indian subcontinent as this was carried north by continental drift. Thus the Himalayas are a fold belt mountain range rather than a volcanic mountain range.
