It is the main peak of the Himalayas and thehighest peak in the world.
The Himalayas is one of the youngest mountains in the world, with an age of10-20 million years. It is composed of many parallel mountains, with a totallength of 2450 km from east to west and a width of 200-300 km from north tosouth. It is a young folded mountain range with complex structure. From north tosouth, it can be divided into four zones: chaisik mountain, Ladakh mountain,great Himalaya mountain, little Himalaya mountain and siwalik mountain. The mainvein is the great Himalaya mountain, which is the highest, about 50-90 km wideand mainly composed of crystalline rocks. The great Himalayan mountains aretraditionally divided into three sections: the western Himalayas from aripulanto Parbat in Nagaya, India; the Middle Himalayas from namnina to Yadongchuomorali in the east of Pulan; and the great Himalayas from Yadong to YarlungZangbo River in the east of Yadong
At the corner, Namjagbarwa peak is the eastern Himalayas. The averagealtitude of the great Himalayan Mountains is more than 6000 meters, with manypeaks. There are more than 50 peaks over 7000 meters, and 16 peaks over 8000meters. Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, stands on the border betweenChina and Nepal. Within 5000 square kilometers around Mount Qomolangma, thereare 4 peaks above 8000 meters and 38 peaks above 7000 meters. This phenomenon ofpeak concentration is the only one in the world, so it is called "the roof ofthe world". Under the erosion and cutting of many rivers, the Himalayas haveformed many gorge channels with a depth of several kilometers, which has becomea shortcut for trade and cultural exchanges between Tibet and its surroundingareas.
