Everest
Description
It is the tallest and biggest mountain on earth, as far removed from sea level as it's possible to be–and yet its sedimentary layers contain fossils that were once creatures that lived on the ocean seabed. The Himalayas formed when India smashed into Asia–propelled by plate tectonics. Everest is still rising but its height is limited–extreme erosion counteracts and limits the amount of uplift.
