The lower section of Mount Everest is known as the 'Rongbuk Formation' and makes up the first 7,000 meters. This region of Everest is formed from sillminite-K-feldspar grade schist and a banded metamorphic rock called gneiss, which has a similar composition to granite. Also a number of dikes of leucogranite and sills, which are horizontal sheets of igneous rock stuck between older rock beds.
The middle part of Mount Everest is known as the North Col Formation, 7,000 to 8,600 meters. This section, itself, can be divided into different parts, the top 400 meters, named the 'Yellow Band', is formed from linked beds of a brown, Middle Cambrian, marble (diopside-epidote-bearing), muscovite-biotite phyllite (which contain silicate minerals) and semischist (a partly metamorphosed, layered sedimentary rock).
The Qomolangma Formation, otherwise known as the 'Jolmo Lungama Formation', consists of layers of Ordovician limestone and recrystallized dolomite, along with siltstone and laminae, together forming colours ranging from white to dark gray. Starting at 8,600 meters above sea level (above Yellow Band), the Qomolangma Formation ends at the summit.
The official height of Mount Everest is 8,848.86 meters (29,031.7 feet).
Mt. Everest
My. Everest is a single mountain. Therefor, it is a place, not a region. An example of a region would be the Himalaya, the mountain range that Mt. Everest belongs to.
Mount Everest is located in Asia, specifically in the Himalayas on the border between Nepal and China.
Mt Everest is made from a deep water marine shale made from three main rocks gneiss, slate and two different shades of sand stone, formed in the Precambrian Era.
No, Mt Everest is a 'fold/thrust' mountain. The rocks at the top of Mt. Everest contain sea shells from the ocean floor.
Mt Everest can be regarded as one huge rock. On its surface must be millions of loose rocks of many different sizes. Could you count the rocks on one of the Rocky Mountains in America?
