Granite samples collected from 6.000 meters on the Raikhot Face of Nanga Parbat are some of the youngest plutonic rocks known anywhere on Earth, they crystallized just 600.000 years ago from a melt at a depth of 3-20 km.
Nanga Parbat is located at the western end of the Himalayas, where the Indian Plate is colliding with the Eurasian Plate. This collision began about 50–55 million years ago and continues today, causing the Himalayas to rise...
