Everest formation

Mount Everest is the top of the mountain, covered with snow all year round, with an altitude of more than 8600 meters. Most of the rocks on Mount Everest belong to the Aobei Formation at an altitude of 7000-8600 meters, which can be divided into upper and lower parts. The upper part is located between 8200 and 8600 meters, which is called the "yellow belt", hence the name, the yellow rock stratum with ice and snow exposed.

Mount Qomolangma is a typical fault block rising peak. There is a thrust fault zone between the basement of Precambrian metamorphic rock series and overlying sedimentary rock series, along which the early Paleozoic strata are napped on the Proterozoic strata from north to south. The upper part of the peak is early Ordovician or CAMBRIAN-Ordovician calcareous rock series (the peak is gray limestone), and the lower part is CAMBRIAN argillaceous rock series (such as phyllite and schist).
