Mount Everest is Still Growing! ⛰️😲 #ShortsAdded:
Imagine if the world's highest mountain just kept rising. Well, it does. Even though Mount Everest already reaches higher than any other mountain, it's still creeping upwards little by little.
But how? It all comes down to [music] something called plate tectonics.
Deep under the ground, the Indian tectonic plate is slowly crashing into the Eurasian plate.
This huge unstoppable [music] push actually squeezes the Himalayas higher over time. Every year, Everest grows [music] by just a few millimeters.
That might not sound like much, but over thousands of years it really adds up.
Just imagine. Everest wasn't [music] always this tall, and millions of years from now, it could be even taller.
So next time you look at a photo of Everest, remember the roof of the world is still rising right now as you watch this video. Even the biggest things on Earth are always changing. How awesome is that?
