All parts of the Earth have been underwater at different times. With continental drift, 'ice ages' and glaciers that have covered many differing land masses, bodies of water have moved over all of the Earth. The Deluge that took place in Noah's day accounts for the shells and the bones of tropical animals found high in the mountains.
The quick and dirty answer is plate tectonics. What happens is sediment builds up on the ocean floor and when marine animals and invertebrates die they too become part of the sediment. After much time has gone by these layers become very compacted, forming limestone. Then as the Earth's plates move across it's surface, these plates sometimes come into contact with other plates. This is called a convergent boundary. Usually one plate will slide under another, pushing it higher forming mountians. This is why in Tibet you can find oceanic fossils, the land used to be under water.
Some fossils are found on mountains because of the worldwide flood, caused by God.
In geological times, the Himalays are very recent. The land used to be under the sea.
Continents colliding have caused the Himalayas to rise up.
because they grow and when they grow the seashells get attached to the mountain then grow with it
Bull sharks have been found far inland. They have been found hundreds of miles up the Amazon River. However, they have not been found very far inland in the US.
Each layer of atmosphere around the Earth is found at different heights. The Troposphere is found at 4 to 12 miles, or 23,000 to 65,000 feet above the Earth.

The Gutenberg Discontinuity is found above the earth layer called the outer core. This boundary line, which separates the outer core from the lower mantle, is approximately 1798 miles below the Earth's surface.
