Mount Everest, at 29028 feet, is the tallest mountain on earth with 8.848 kilometers in height.

A specific someone by the name of Andre Waugh said that Mount Everest was 29,002 feet tall in 1856. Trigonometric surveys and analysis served as the basis for this. The overall height, which was acknowledged in both China and Nepal, was 8,848 metres. For a long time, this was the accepted record. Things didn't start to change until the 9th of October 2005, when an official declaration was issued stating that Mount Everest was, in fact, 29,017.16 feet high. This totaled 8,844.43 meters.

Geologic uplift causes Everest to rise by 4 mm, or 0.1576 inches, per year.  It is believed that the neighboring plate tectonics is causing the height to increase and the peak to move northeast.

Geomagnetic reversals __________. Group of answer choices Provide strong evidence for sea floor spreading Reveal that polar wand
Igoryamba

Answer:

The answer is "Provide strong evidence for seafloor spreading".

Explanation:

The magnetic changes from east to west and vice versa are geomagnetic. geomagnetic reversals. And they can provide significant evidence of the expansion of sea bed in the rocks formed along the middle sea ridges by documenting the geomagnetic pattern of echo.

A new crust is developing from the magma explosion into the seafloor in the ocean along the mid-oceanic ridges along the mid-ocean ridges. When the magma cools, the minerals of ferromagnetism found in the magma will align as per the magnetosphere of this time.

In the event of geomagnetical revolutions, newly formed minerals will be reverse-aligned to early elements, thus registering the lithosphere on both sides of the mid-oceanic ridge. Lithosphere, one could argue, is a continual move away from oceanic crusts midway through.

Why are ocean fossils found on top of the rocky mountains?
Anna35 [415]
Let's start from the beginning. 

<span>Millions and millions of years ago, planet Earth was absolutely crowded with volcanoes. </span>

<span>As you may know, volcanoes release steam and gasses. </span>
<span>As the years went by, the gasses released from volcanoes formed the atmosphere around the planet, which prevented the steam from disappearing into outer space. </span>
<span>The steam eventually, in cycles, began to fall back to Earth. Viola, rain had just been "invented". </span>

<span>As more and more rain fell, considering almost every surface of the planet was volcanic, the water began to build up and "flood" the planet. Many active volcanoes had now been transformed into underwater volcanoes. </span>

<span>As more and more years went by, eventually, bacteria in the water slowly began to evolve, first into jelly-fish like creatures, then tadpole-like creatures, leading all the way up to large ferocious underwater reptiles, amphibians and fish. </span>

<span>As the planet started to warm up, probably by methane gasses released from the prehistoric underwater creatures, the water levels on Earth began to drop again. At the same time, the active underwater volcanoes were creating new landmasses, either by lava cooling on the surface of the water or tectonic plates pushing the volcano above sea level. </span>

<span>So, this, is how fossils of sea creatures ended up in high land-based mountains. </span>
<span>Because millions of years ago, most of Earth was underwater until the water levels dropped or lands "grew" higher. </span>
<span>The Rocky Mountains were once underwater. </span>


<span>If you take a look at images of the Grand Canyon in the United States, you'll see that it resembles the deep caverns and canyons that you find at the bottom of oceans. </span>
<span>That's because the Grand Canyon WAS at the bottom of an ocean.</span>
