Mount K2 was formed by the collision of the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate, resulting in the uplift of the Karakoram mountain range to which K2 belongs. This collision caused the rocks to be pushed upward, creating the mountain we know as K2 today.
K2 (Mount Godwin Austen) is in Asia.
Mount K2, also known as Mount Godwin-Austen, was formed through the collision of tectonic plates around 50 million years ago. This collision caused the uplift of the Himalayan mountain range, including K2, due to the intense pressure and force of the converging plates. Over time, the erosion by glaciers and weathering helped shape K2 into the imposing peak we see today.
