Mt. Everest continues to rise today because the Indian and Eurasian plates continue to converge, causing Mt. Everest to rise. The marine fossils also continue to rise along with the mountain that they are on. Mt. Everest's continued increase in elevation is because of convection deep in Earth's mantle.
Eurasian Plate Convergent Boundary)
Indian Plate (Convergent Boundary)
Have a massive body of water, where your Mt. Everest will be. The aquatic environment of the area of Mt. Everest allowed for marine life to exist. There was plenty of water and fish around, but these fish will die, and their fossils will be on the sea floor, where the convergent Indian and Eurasian will soon collide and form Mt. Everest.
Step 1:Before the Mountain:
Eurasian Plate Convergent Boundary)
Indian Plate (Convergent Boundary)
Step 2:Forming the Mountain:
The convergent Indian and Eurasian plates had collided and started to form Mt. Everest. The fossils that formed out of dead marine like are now on Mt, Everest, because of the convergent plate boundaries pushing up to form Mt. Everest. This is because of the convection cycle occurring deep in the mantle.
