Everyone ready for Everest?


Hey guys! India was great! Exotic foods and the clothing was really cool too! I got a bunch of bangles for my friends, back home in Washington. But now I’m heading off to Mount Everest! Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world! On average, about 1,500 people climb it per year. I however, am not going to climb it, but just examine and dissect the various parts of the monstrous mountain.
Geologists have subdivided the rocks comprising Mount Everest into three units called "formations" Each formation is separated from the other by low-angle faults, called “detachments”, along which they have been thrust over each other.
