Episode notes
Mount Everest Fits in Ocean Trench
- Mount Everest can fit inside the Marianas Trench despite being the highest mountain above sea level.
- The trench is over 11 kilometers deep, allowing Mount Everest to fit with room to spare.
How Mountains Form
- Mountains form mainly when two tectonic plates push against one another, causing rocks to rise.
- Volcanic lava and erosion also contribute to mountain formation over long periods.
Mount Everest is a Young Mountain
- Mount Everest is considered a young mountain because tectonic plates still push it upward.
- This means the mountain continues growing as plates squeeze rocks up through the Earth's crust.
