K2 lies along the southern edge of the Eurasian tectonic plate and is made up of ancient sedimentary rocks (more than 390 million years old). Those strata were folded and thrust-faulted, and granite masses were intruded when the Indian plate collided with Eurasia plate beginning more than 100 million years ago.
