Mount Everest

The Mount Everest is know all around the world for its great height. Mount Everest is one of the tallest mountain in the world. It is part of the Himalayan Mountains. They were formed in the last few million years. After the super continent of Laurasia broke up millions of years ago, India moved slowly north towards Asia and then crashed into it. The seabed between the two plates(the earth's crust is divided into large areas of land called plates) was crumbled and pushed up on the northemrim of India to from mountain.

The trust is that from many years many people wondered and tired to figure it out the exactly measurements. These days, we know for sure the exact height of 29,035ft. or 8850m because we have better tools to measure, like the global positioning sate lite technology. But the official altitude of the Mount Everest that was approved by the Nepali government is 29,029ft. But the interesting fact is that it is believed that the height of Mt. Everest will grow in the future for the more.
Mount Everest got its name after the person(Sir George Everest) that first tried to located the exact position of the peak until then, it was named Mount Everest
