Wasabi the J posted:Also, if any geologists wanna chime in that'd be great: wasn't the Himalaya formed by India smashing into Asia really loving fast? Is this related? All mountains are formed by some form plate tectonics, and in the case of the Himalayas you're exactly right, it's a collision of the Indian tectonic plate and the Eurasian plate. The earthquakes here were caused by the two plates shifting a bit. The Himalayas are very new, geologically speaking, and the two plates are constantly pushing against each other, making the area pretty seismically active. The Himalayas actually grow 5 mm a year, however erosion pretty much nullifies that. Ape Has Killed Ape fucked around with this message at 14:31 on May 12, 2015 |

Cojawfee posted:What if they erode far enough that it reveals a giant megalodon skeleton on the summit of some lesser mountain. Would that become the new tourist trap? I think I'd rather climb Megalodon Mountain than be the 40th white guy to jack off on Everest. I don't think you're gonna find a megalodon skeleton anywhere. However since the Himalayas are made of limestone, and limestone is made of the shells and bones of tiny marine organisms, it wouldn't be entirely inaccurate to say that part of the mountain is a fossil. Edit: I'm pretty sure that the summit is entirely limestone. The summit of Everest is built from trillions of dead sea critters.

quote:“There’s no way you can talk to their owners?” he asked Brice, apparently confusing the ethnic Sherpa employees with slaves or some form of property. Please, take that man up the mountain. And then leave him there.
