Himalayas

The earth crust consists of about 7 big plates, continents, and when they move towards each other 2 things can happen. 1. one plate moves under the other 2. the collide and both 'rise'. The plates constantly moves because of the different temperatures of the magma under the earth's crust.

there is no other name

Its simple as they are both mountain ranges but in different locations and they all have a good cause.

In 2007 Dutchman Wim Hoff reached an altitude of 24,278ft on Mount Everest wearing a pair of shorts.

The Himalayas and Karakoram run along the northern border of India.

I think u can but i really don't have clue!!

Himalaya is not at all called Mount Everest. In fact Mount Everest is the Highest mountain peak of the Himalayas which has now fallen in Nepal. It was first climbed by Sir Edmond Hilary and Tenjing Norgay in the year l953.

Himalaya Kingdom was located in the Himalayan mountains area where Himavat was recognized as the ruler in the Indian story titled Mahabharata.

Yes they do.

The Himalayan tahr is a wild goat found in the Himalayas. The goat has thick, reddish wool coats and thick undercoats to protect them from the harsh climate.

Himalayas :))

well im the son off the great man Sir Edmund Hillary. im so proud of my dad so as he went to conker the mounten again he took me with him and we made it about 9/10 of the way up which i thought was amazing,

my name is Daniel hillary and im 21 years of age and that is our great story. it was cold and yea

I havent heard of 'Neegum' although my Sanskrit is quite basic unless the English wording is different?

I dont know the anwer of it you tell me!

The Himalayas are known to be youngfold mountains. Young, because these have been formed relatively recently in the earth's history, compared to older mountain ranges like the Aravallis in India, and the Appalachian in the USA. They are known as fold mountains because the mountains extend for 2500 km in length in a series of parallel ridges or folds.

Its actually the result of a photo shopping contest....sure had me fooled

Classically speaking Himalaya is correct. In Sanskrit, him = snow; alaya = abode/house. It is already a plural and identifies the whole of the Himalayan range from west to east. But recent usage and Americanization has made Himalayas more popular. Guess writers and editors just presumed that because other mountain ranges were known as Alps, Andes, Atlas, Pamirs, Pyrenees, etc., they just starting adding the 's' to Himalaya because they thought that was the correct plural form. Dictionaries also started spelling it with an s. For instance if you type Himalaya in MS Word, it says "wrong spelling, add an s." So although Himalaya is correct it is now widely used as Himalayas. So both are correct, I guess.

The 10 most difficult mountains to climb is pretty subjective based on what you are defining as "difficult". Technical climbing skills required? Most likely to get you killed by an avalanche? Most likely to get you killed by altitude? Requires the most planning and expedition resources? Subject to the most in-climate weather? Also techniques come into play, is oxygen allowed? Pneumatic drills? Let's go purest and assume no for both.

Based on trying to mix it up a little and look for difficulty that encompasses as many of these factors as possible, I would venture my top 10 as:

1. K2 - immensely challenging in every way. High, savage weather, technical, remote. A beast.

2. Gasherbrum IV - Very similar to K2. Slightly lower, but slightly steeper.

3. Nanga Parbat - North face has the highest relief of any face on earth. Treacherous avalanches have earned it the name "Killer Mountain"

4. Great Trango Tower - Tallest near vertical wall on earth...and it's at 20,000 feet with little or no snow to melt for the tremendous water required at that altitude. All the difficulties of the Patagonian towers at high altitude.

5. Baintha Brakk - "The Ogre" Extremely steep, technical mountain in the Karakorum. The best mountaineers in the world consistently mention it as one of the worlds hardest, that's enough for me. To make it worse, apparently it's covered in hungry bears that cause all kinds of trouble at camp. No, that's not a joke.

6. Latok I - The "Ogre's Brother". Close in proximity and difficulty to Baintha Brakk. It's North Ridge is a notorious unclimbed route. Many of the best have tried, all have failed. The closest was still nearly an El Capitan and a half from the summit.

7. Makalu - Considered one of the hardest and most dangerous of the 8000m giants.

8. Everest - Enough with obscurity, being the worlds tallest has to mean something...It means that especially without oxygen, altitude is a tremendous challenge and Everest has more of it than anywhere else.

9. Annapurna - When you kill fully 40% of the summit attempters I guess you have to make the list. Far from the most technical, but it still has the highest mortality rate among 8000m peaks. Maybe it's the extreme avalanche danger, maybe it's just cursed.

10. Cerro Torre - Had to have 1 mountain not in Asia. Immense, remote, awe-inspiring granite spire in Patagonia. Once considered by some mountaineers the hardest mountain in the world. Low altitude, but extremely technical and subject to horrific weather.

Worth honorable mention:

Mt. McKinnley (Denali) - Probably most dangerous and challenging mountain in North America. In sheer size, one of the largest mountains in the world. Its extreme latitude makes air thinner than altitude would suggest, and subject to terrible weather all year.

Chacraraju - The most difficult peak in Andes.

Monte Fitzroy - Near Cerro Torre. Extremely technical and remote. One of the most breathtaking mountains to look at in the world. Is found near El Chaltén in the Argentinian Patagonia.

Matterhorn - The mountain that really started it all. Still a spectacular peak to behold and one of Europe's greatest climbs.

The Himalayas are Fold Mountains

Mount Everest is part of the Himalayan mountain range.
