George Washington was a leader of the Continental Army in the American Revolution, and was the first to become U.S. president.
The Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau to the north have risen very rapidly. In just 50 million years, peaks such as Mt. Everest have risen to heights of more than 9 km. The impinging of the two landmasses has yet to end. The Himalayas continue to rise more than 1 cm a year -- a growth rate of 10 km in a million years!
The Himalayas are a range of mountains in southern Asia, generally between India and China. The mountains in the range include many of the highest in the world. The Himalaya â¦ s were pushed up by the collision between India and the Asian continental plate, and some are still slowly and steadily increasing in height.he Himalayas are still growing because the Indo-Australian plate is still colliding with the Eurasian plate (Convergent plate boundaries), which makes it grow higher. India is a sub-continent of Asia.
