Abstract：0 Introduction
The Himalayas stretch for 2500 km with an average elevation of about 6000 m, making it the most magnificent and young mountain system in the world, formed by the intense collision and compression between the Indian and Eurasian plates (Yin and Harison, 2000). The world's highest peak, Mount Everest, located in the middle section of the Himalayas, has extremely rugged terrain and rapidly changing climate. For a long time, it has attracted the attention of many religious believers, mountaineers, and scientists due to its intense tectonic activity and unique natural environment (Chang Chengfa and Zheng Xilan, 1973).
