How the Earth Was Made - Everest

Seizoen: 2 - Aflevering: 8 / 22 - Eerst uitgezonden: 19 januari 2010 - Episode ID: 466142

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.
