From the summit of Mount Everest to its base these rock units are the Qomolangma Formation, the North Col formation, and the Rongbuk Formation. From its summit to the top Chiatsun Group of the Yellow Band, about 8,600 m (28,000 ft) above sea level, the top of Mount Everest consists of the Qomolangma Formation, which has also been assigned as either the

Structural and microstructural investigations into the South Tibetan Detachment System in the Rongbuk valley (southern Tibet) pointed to the presence of a complex extensional setting with the development of two major fault zones with movement in a top-to-NE direction.

The formation of Mount Everest is deeply intertwined with the geological processes of plate tectonics, particularly the ongoing collision between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate; this collision has caused the crust to compress and uplift over millions of years, resulting in the creation of the Himalayas; these mountain ranges are also home to Mount Expanding the limits of laser-ablation U–pb calcite geochronology The structural evolution of the Qomolangma formation, Mount Everest, Nepal Eocene slab breakoff of Neotethys as suggested by dioritic dykes in the Gangdese magmatic belt, southern Tibet Ocean Basin evolution and global-scale plate reorganization events since Pangea

The bulk of Mount Everest, between 7,000 and 8,600 m (23,000 and 28,200 ft), consists of the North Col Formation, of which the Yellow Band forms its upper part between 8,200 to 8,600 m (26,900 to 28,200 ft). Highly fractured rocks of the Ordovician lower Chiatsun Group in the hanging wall of the South Tibetan detach-ment system in Nyalam, 75 km to the west of Everest, correlate with Ordovician strata of the Mount Qomolangma Formation on Mount Everest.

ABSTRACT In the South Tibetan Himalaya, major detachment systems exhumed midcrustal rocks from different structural levels that are exposed in the Ama Drime and Mount Everest massifs. The South Tibetan detachment system (STDS) accommodated exhumation of the Greater Himalayan Series (GHS) until the Middle Miocene. Field- and laboratory-based The Qomolangma Formation, the highest section of rock on the summit pyramid of Mount Everest, is made of layers of Ordovician-age limestone, recrystallized dolomite, siltstone, and laminae. New samples collected from a transect across the summit limestone of Mount Everest (Qomolangma Formation) show that multiple distinct deformational events are discretely partitioned across this
