The greatest challenge for mountain climbers is Mt. Everest, whose peak rises
8,872 meters above sea level. This is the highest mountain in the world, though many
mountains around it are almost as high. Mt. Everest is in the Himalayas, a series of
massive ranges that extends 2,500 kilometers across South Asia north of India. The
Himalayas cover all or part of the countries of Tibet, Nepal, and Bhutan.
A climber on the high slopes of Mt. Everest would probably be surprised to learn
that the region was relatively flat about 40 million years ago. It was then that two
continental plates collided. The plate carrying India had been moving northward for
millions of years. The oceanic crust in front of it was slowly subducted under the
Eurasian plate. But when the two continents collided, subduction stopped because
India could not sink into the mantle. Instead, it pushed crust upward and downward.
The Himalayas were one result. Thus, the Himalayas are actually pieces of plates
broken and lifted up because of the collision. Another result of this collision was the
movement of China eastward, as the movement of India northward pushed the
Eurasian plate in front of it. The collision is still occurring today. In fact, the
Himalayas are growing in elevation at a rate of about 1 centimeter per year.

Applying Scientific Methods
Thinking Critically
Read a geologist’s report below on one area of Alaska. Then use
the information in the report and the cross-sectional diagram of
central Alaska to answer the questions.
Use the map of the Hawaiian Islands to answer the following questions.
The dates on the map represent the approximate times (millions of years
before the present [M.Y.B.P.]) that the islands formed.
The central Brooks Range of Alaska is an area of rugged, east-trending ridges
with heights of up to about 2500 m. This range, which stretches across northern
Alaska, is part of the Rocky Mountain system. Sedimentary rocks are common in
the Brooks Range. These rocks are complexly folded and faulted in the Brooks
Range and are less deformed elsewhere. Some marine sedimentary rocks contain
small fossils of invertebrates, shells, and corals and are found near the mountains’
summits of the Brooks Range. The fossils provide information that is useful in
dating rocks and establishing the geological sequence.
Metamorphic rocks, such as marble and dolomite, are found along the south
side of the range. Several episodes of uplift, deformation, and intrusion have
produced complexly folded, fractured, and thrust faulted blocks. Erosion and
heavy glaciation account for the rugged mountain profiles and U-shaped valleys
evident today.
1. Describe the kind of orogeny that formed these islands that are far from
tectonic plate boundaries.
2. According to the map, list the Hawaiian Islands in order from oldest to
youngest.
3. Where would you expect the next island in the group to form?
1. Note that the mountains’ roots extend into the mantle. Which
mountain range has the greatest mass above Earth’s surface?
2. From the diagram, what type of plate boundary exists in the south?
3. How does the Chugach Range appear to have formed?
4. From the evidence presented in the report, how do you think the
Brooks Range formed? What led you to this conclusion?
5. How can you explain the presence of marine sedimentary rock in the
Brooks Range?
Describe its location and mark the place on the map.
4. How do the shapes of the mountains in this complex differ from the shapes
of volcanoes in large mountain ranges?
5. How does the formation of these mountains change the underlying
crust?
Standard 2: Students will understand Earth’s internal structure and the dynamic nature of the tectonic plates that form its surface.
Objective 2: Describe the development of the current theory of plate tectonics and the evidence that supports this theory.
Objective 3: Demonstrate how the motion of tectonic plates affects Earth and living things.
