Because the five highest mountains in the world are in the Himalayas, and the Himalayas are some of the fastest growing mountains in the world, in 10,000 years these mountains will still be the highest in the world.In 100 Million years that may be quite different, as the history of the Appalachian mountains teaches us.s it turns out, every single one of the highest mountains in the world (defined as peaks higher than 8,000 meters or 26,247 feet) is located in the Himalayan Mountains in Asia (India, Tibet, China, Pakistan and Nepal).
