🏔️ Fun fact: The Himalayas are still rising! The Indian tectonic plate is still moving northward into the Eurasian plate at a rate of about 5 cm (2 inches) per year. This causes the Himalayas to rise about 1 cm (0.4 inches) per year. Mount Everest grows about 4 mm (0.16 inches) taller each year. Earthquakes in the region can cause the mountains to rise suddenly. The Himalayas are home to 10 of the world\’s 14 highest peaks (all above 8,000 meters / 26,247 feet). So the answer is the Himalayas.
