I'm curious about the rate of growth of Mount Everest. Is it increasing in height at a significant pace or is the change barely noticeable? Just how fast is Everest growing?

Over time, this has led to a cumulative increase in height ranging from 50 to 165 extra feet.

The impact of this crustal adjustment is particularly evident in the Himalayas.

However, this region is not the only place on Earth where such dramatic changes are occurring.
