Why are there marine fossils at the summit of Mount Everest? When continents collide, the rock formations break, are forced up on their sides, and ancient deep sedimentary rock becomes the mountaintop. A good example of this would be the Himalayas.

Ever hear about plate tectonics where subduction between plates of the earth force sea beds, and other parts of the earth, into mountain ranges?
