LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system. This process offers third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at reducing energy and water usage, promoting better indoor air quality, and improving quality of life.
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).
14 mountains are over 8,000 meters high, among them the K2, Nanga Parbat and Mount Everest, at 8,848 meter the worldâs highest mountain. The Himalayas extend over 1,500 miles (2,400 km) from the Indus Valley in the west to the Brahmaputra Valley in the east.he Himalayas belong to the youngest mountain ranges in the world. They were formed when the Indian subcontinent, which was originally a part of the southern landmass, drifted to the north and crashed into Asia. This movement started about 70 million years ago and has been going on up to the present day.
