The Himalayan region where Mount Everest is located used to be an ocean. In the long geological age, a large number of gravels and sediments washed down from the land accumulated in the Himalayan region, forming a marine sedimentary rock layer with a thickness of more than 30 thousand meters. Due to strong orogeny, it rises by about 20 to 30 meters every 1 10,000 years, and the Himalayan region is still rising, rising by 7 cm every 100 years.

With the passage of time, the height of Mount Everest will change constantly because of the movement of geographical plates. Interestingly, although Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world, its summit is not the farthest point from the center of the earth. This special point belongs to Chimborazo Mountain in South America. The majestic image of Mount Everest has always had a great influence in the local area and even in the world.

Mount Qomolangma is located in the middle of the Himalayas at the junction of Xizang Autonomous Region and Nepal in China. It is the highest mountain in the world. The mountain is in the shape of a giant pyramid, and 548 continental glaciers are distributed between ridges and cliffs, with a total area of 1457.07k_.
