Mt Everets, along with the other mountains in the Himalayas, was formed millions of years ago. The mountains were formed when the Indian subcontinent collided with Asia. When this happened, the stress on the tectonic plates was too much and it caused the land to rise above sea level forming the mountains. While the Indian subcontinent was moving towards Asia, rivers washed rocks and soil onto the ocean floor, this eventually built up and formed even more pressure on the land.
