Mount Qomolangma, which means "Virgin Mary" in Tibetan, is the highest peakin the world at an altitude of 8848 meters. It is located on the border betweenChina and Nepal in the middle section of the Himalayas and just south of DingriCounty in Xigaze, Tibet. The peak is covered with snow all the year round, aholy scene. Mount Qomolangma area has four peaks more than 8000 meters and 38peaks more than 7000 meters, which is known as the third level of the earth.
At the foot of Mount Qomolangma, there is Rongbu temple, the highest templein the world. At the same time, Rongbu temple is also the best place to watchMount Qomolangma, with a straight-line distance of 25 km.
Mount Qomolangma is a typical fault block rising peak. There is a thrustbelt between the basement of Precambrian metamorphic rock series and theoverlying sedimentary rock series. The upper part of the peak is the earlyOrdovician or Cambrian Ordovician calcareous rock series (the peak is graycrystalline limestone), and the lower part is the Cambrian argillaceous rockseries (such as phyllite, schist, etc.), with the intrusion of granite andmigmatite dikes. The strata incline to NNE with gentle dip angle. Since the endof transgression in the middle Eocene, Mt. Qomolangma has been rising rapidly,and it has risen about 3000 meters since the late Pliocene. Because the Indianplate and the Asian plate take 5. The speed of 08cm compresses each other, sothat the whole Himalayas are still rising, and Mount Everest also rises by about1. 27 cm. The valley glaciers of Mt. Qomolangma are well developed. There aremany large-scale valley glaciers distributed radially around the mountain. Thereare 18 glaciers with a length of more than 10 km, and the end elevation is3600-5400 M. Among them, the three major glaciers in the north slope, namely,zhongrongbu, xirongbu and dongrongbu glaciers, and their more than 30 small andmedium-sized glaciers, are the most prominent. The glacier covers an area ofabout 1600 square kilometers within 5000 square kilometers around MountQomolangma. In the tongue region of many large glaciers, there are also icetower forests. Ancient glacial activity remains such as ancient ice bucket,glacial trough valley, glacial or glacial water erosion accumulation platform,lateral moraine and final moraine ridge are also common. It is characterized bystrong cold and frost weathering, jagged rocks at the summit, towering anddangerous corner peaks and edge ridges, and rock debris slopes or sea. Specialperiglacial landforms such as stone ring and stone fence are formed by repeatedthawing and freezing of soil surface.
