Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world, grows about 2.5 inches
each year. In the last 26,000 years, Mount Everest has grown about a full
mile in height.
Scientists have also determined that the Himalayas as a whole are still
growing at a rate of about 2.4 inches per year, which is twice as fast as
previously thought. Mount Everest is just one of over 30 peaks in the
mountains of the Himalayas that are over 24,000 feet high.
