An idea that has been studied and investigated and is supported by a vast and diverse array of evidence
The tallest mountains on Earth, K2 and Mount Everest, are part of the Himalayas. When the landmass that is now known as India collided with Asia, these mountains began to form. Scientists are measuring Mount Everest to determine whether its height has changed. Why would the Himalayas be getting taller?
The himalayas would still be growing because of the plates converging and rising to push the himalayas up.
