The Himalayas will continue to grow and over the next 10 million years 300 miles of land will be forced under Asia.

The Himalayas supply fresh water to 1/8 of the world's population.

High energy particles from Space are called Luminiferous ether.

In rock surfaces, the particles create a kind of cosmic sunburn.

Kathmandu is the city which lies in the center of the danger zone.

White streaks in the Himalayan granite is meant that the rocks have been eroded by glaciers.

The process of faulting puts different rock types one on top of the other...On the top of Everest, faulting apparently put limestone over marble.

After travelling north the continent of India eventually became an island continent.

The Crinoid fossil dated the rock to over 400 million years old and was evidence that the rock had formed at the summit of Everest.

Scientists need rock sample evidence in order to figure out how the giant mountain was made.

The youngest marine fossils preserved along the collision belt are precisely dated at 80 million years.

From the air huge folds of rock were distinctly visible.
