Why are the highest mountains in the world near the equator?
Is it random or not when all the highest mountains in the world are located close to the equator? Doesn't it seem, perhaps the hot climate makes it easier for higher mountain ranges to rise faster?
The three factors that control the height growth of mountains are: strength under the Earth's crust, the magnitude of the geological formations and the magnitude of erosion. All of the highest mountain ranges in the world have the power under the great Earth's crust, but it is still unclear until now that the world's highest peak is mainly due to the strong rise or erosion worn at least.

By using satellite images, David Engholm of Aarhus University, Denmark and colleagues studied large mountains between 600 North and 600 South. They also make models of ice erosion impact.
They found that with low latitudes, warming climates boosted the amount of snow on the peaks melting faster, and the mountains would be faster.

' Erosion is much more effective at the top of the year-round snow cover, where there is a lot of ice, ' said Vivi Pedersen of Aarhus University. the meter above the snow-covered start, which means the Himalayas has a low latitude range but it has a peak on a higher latitude range because its snow cover is on top of higher many, so some peaks of the Himalayas are very high.
