Video: The collision created the Everest

Mount Everest formed when two giant tectonic plates of India and Eurasia collided with about 50 million years ago.

Mount Everest was formed about 50 million years ago.

The surface of the Earth is like the armor of a pangolin, the pieces of the Earth's crust continuously rise, descend and move around each other.

These giant tectonic plates move relatively quickly, moving from 2 to 4 cm per year, which is equivalent to the length of the human nail.

When two tectonic plates collide, an array will push into or lie beneath the plate, bending the contact area, leading to the emergence of a mountain.
