Flexi Says: The Mount Everest is the highest peak of Himalayan mountains which are formed by the subduction of the India plate below the Eurasia plate and this area experiences more earthquakes than many other parts of the world. The Himalayan Mountain Range is very young by geological standards. The uplift began as the subcontinent of India collided with Asia around 60 million years ago and is still continuing even today. The tectonic plates collision is causing Earth’s crust to be pushed up.
