The world's tallest mountains, the mountains, the Himalayas , are also the fastest growing. Their growth about half inch a year is caused by the pressure exerted by two of earth's continental plates (the Eurasian plate and the Indo - Australian plate) pushing against one another.
" In a hundred ages of the gods, I could not tell thee of the glories of the Himalaya".... Thus does tradition call down to us from the Puranas. The Himalaya, is a spectacle of awesome dimensions... ranges upon ranges, tiers of rock, sharp sky piercing peaks and canyons, deep beyond measure.......how did this come about, whence rose these citadels of ice...how did this three thousand kilometer long mountain range come into existence?, for the Himalaya is not only the most impressive of all the mountain chains, but also the youngest.
