What else can I help you with?
Is mount Everest getting higher every year?
Yes it is, Mount Everest grows a few milimeters every year.
Why are the Himalayas getting lower?
They're actually getting taller by about a fifth of an inch per year due to plate tectonics.
What causes the Himalayas mountains between India and Asia to grow several centimeters every year?
The Himalayas grow due to the collision between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates, which pushes the land upwards forming the mountain range. The pressure and movement of the Earth's plates cause the Himalayas to rise several centimeters every year.
How much is Everest rising a year?
Geologic forces are pushing Mount Everest 2.5 to 15 cm with every passing year along with the rest of the Himalayas.
How many people visit Himalayas each year?
In the year 2000 over 350,000 tourists visited the himalayas.
What type of plate margin formed the Himalayas?
the Himalayas were formed by a collision plate boundary, meaning that the plates collided and formed the Himalayas. The Himalayas are also referred to as 'fold mountains' because of the way in which they are made.
How were large mountain ranges such as the Himalayas produced?
Large mountain ranges such as the Himalayas were produced through the collision of tectonic plates. In the case of the Himalayas, the Indian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate, causing the crust to crumple and uplift, leading to the formation of the mountain range. The force of the collision continues to push the Himalayas higher each year.
Are the Himalayas rising or sinking?
The Himalayas are still rising at a rate of 5 millimeters per year.
Are high school drop out rates high in the school year of 2007-2008?
Yes. Sadly, dropout rates are getting higher and higher every year. Every nine seconds in America, a student becomes a dropout. In 2004 alone, six million 15-18 year olds had not completed high school (Mentor Research Institute, 2006). And that number is just growing. -Amanda Smith
Why does Mt. Everest grow every year?
It continues to grow because the Eurasia plate and the Indian plate are constantly converging( moving together), forming the Himalayas.
What mountain range was created from a convergent boundary?
The Himalayas were created from the convergence of the Indian Plate pushing into the Eurasian Plate. This collision continues to push the mountains higher each year.
How were large mountain ranges such an the himalaya produced?
Large mountain ranges like the Himalayas were formed by the collision of tectonic plates. In the case of the Himalayas, the Indian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate, forcing the Earth's crust to fold and uplift over millions of years, creating towering peaks. This ongoing collision continues to push the Himalayas higher each year.
