Some mountain ranges, such as the Himalayan Mountain Range are still growing because the tectonic collision that created them is still occuring. The rate of uplift exceeds the rate of erosion. Many mountain ranges, such as the Appalachian Mountains on the North American continent are a result on plate collisions that occured several hundred million years ago, and erosion has greatly eroded their height. At one time, the Appalachian Mountains were higher than Mount Everest, the current highest point on the planet's surface.
because mount Everest is a mountain range which means two tectonic plates are moving into each other very slowly. as they push into each other the mountain will get taller.
Mt. Everest increases about an inch in height each year because when the Eurasian plate and the Indian- Australian plate crash together at a convergent plate boundary both plates push up into the peaks of the Himalaya Mountain Range, causing Mt. Everest to push up higher.
Although erosion is a factor of how far Mt. Everest raises the mountain pushes more than erosion wears away at it therefore it balances with erosion to produce an average of one inch increase in height each year.
The Himalayas are formed from a continent to continent collision which causes a massive thickening and uplift of the collision zone. The Andes are formed from an oceanic to continental collision, where one crust (the oceanic) subducts under the other. Continent to continent collisions produce the highest mountain ranges.
because India is pushing agents china, and the land is going on top of china thus creating the Himalayas
Because the energy that created it (and the rest of the Himilayas) still has not disipated (stopped moving) yet.
Its not the worlds atmosphere is getting thiner
The plates are not moving apart. The Indian and Eurasian plates are colliding. As this happens, some of the rock in the collision area is forced up.
They are still growing.
what is the melting point of ice on top of the Himalayan
19200 cm is taller.
The 24m buildingis 50cm taller thanthe 2,350cm tree.
Well it depends if your young and getting older you'll grow taller if your in like your mid fifty's some people start to shrink or sometimes mid fortys
The Himalayas, known as the longest as well as the highest mountain ranges of the world, serve as the natural habitat to a wide variety of wildlife. The Himalayan Wildlife comprises of one third of all mountain animals. The absolute variety of the Himalayan topography is the reason behind it being home to the rare plants and endangered species of animals. The rarest of wild animals and birds can be spotted in the wildlife in the Himalayas. As you explore the diverse wildlife of the Himalayas you will get to know many interesting and amazing facts on the Himalayan Wildlife. Different regions, owing to the climatic condition of that region have different kinds of forests and animals. In the Terai region the Himalayas, the fauna comprises of Sal, Teak and Shisham/rosewood forests. As we go higher with the rising altitudes, the terrain changes to include Pine, Oak, Deodar, Fir, Rhododendron, Birch and Juniper trees. One can also find some of the rarest flowers while on the Himalayan Wildlife tour. The Garhwal region lilies and potentillas present the Himalayan beauty in a different look. There are four main types of vegetation found in the Himalayan region - temperate, alpine, tropical, and subtropical. The Himalayan Wildlife and forests are most suited for insects like bumblebees and crane flies. As you go higher, you will notice that the insects have dark bodies so as to absorb as much heat as possible as the climate gets cooler. The Himalayas Wildlife sanctuaries showcase different types of butterflies- Apollo's, blues, vanessas, and papilios.
The Himalayan Mountains
No the Himalayan Mountains are a mountain range which means it is numorous mountains connected.. The Highest in the Himalayan Mountains is Mt. Everest. Mt Everest is the HIGHEST mountain in the world today, and is getting a couple centimeters taller each year.Partially correct. As part of the Himalayan mountain range, Everest (Chomolungma) is the highest peak in the world, but not the highest single mountain as measured from sea level. That honor belongs to our own Mt. McKinley (Denali) in Alaska.
A Himalayan yak lives in Himalayan mountains.
The Himalayan mountains are on the edge of two plates (tectonic plates) that are still moving closer together and will continue to do that for millions of years later.
they are nobody there mountains
The Himalayan mountains are on the border of Nepal and Tibet.
The Himalayan mountains can be found in Asia. They stretch across five countries: Nepal, India, Bhutan, China, and Pakistan.
The Himalayan are in the Northern and Eastern Hemispheres

It is that the mountains also are big by growing taller and taller for to be healthy the animals too for the beautiful mountains.
India and Asia? i will check on it tommorow!
