4. The world’s tallest mountain is growing every year
Mount Everest, the world’s tallest mountain, is the highest peak on Earth and grows yearly.
This is due to the movement of the Indian tectonic plate, which is pushing against the Eurasian plate and causing the mountain to rise.
Scientists have measured the mountain’s growth and found that it is increasing by about 4 millimeters yearly.
This means that the height of Mount Everest is constantly changing, and it will continue to grow for many years.
