Answer:
Mount Everest is the highest peak on Earth at 29,028 feet above sea level.
The rock at the top of the peak is a marine limestone, deposited on the sea floor about 450 million years ago! This is an amazing fact that begs the question - how did that rock get there? In this discussion we will try to answer that question. The topics we will cover include:
Review of Stress and Strain
Brittle Deformation – Faults and Joints
Ductile deformation – Folds

Stress and Strain
We start our discussion with a brief review of the concepts of stress and strain. Recall that stress is a force acting on a material that produces a strain. Stress is a force applied over an area and therefore has units of Force/area (like lb/in 2 ). Pressure is a stress where the forces act equally from all directions.
