No, Mt. Everest is a result of two continential plates colliding, the Indian and Asian Plate. When 2 continential plates converge you have an "orogeny" or mountain building episode. Volcanic formation is usually due to a continential/oceanic convergence when the more dense oceanic plate is subducted forming a area where large amounts of pressure and heat builds, ideal for volcanic formation

No! The Indian subcontinental plate is moving Northwards, and the resulting collision between plates forces the Himalayas ever higher.

Seriously ,Does it look like a volcano ? .
If memory serves me correctly it's actually made of limestone which was formed under water and then pushed up to it's current lofty location as a result of plate movement.

no. it was formed through the collision of plates. its formation is a result of a continental collision or orogeny along the convergent boundary between the Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate.

I think so. Only nature will know what will happen next.
