Question

the Himalayas are the highest and the youngest fold mountains you may have read that they are rising higher and higher every year what is the height of these mountains​

Answer 1

The height of the Himalayas is 8848m or 29,029 feet

• Mount Everest is the world's tallest peak and rises 29,029 feet or 8,848 m, or 5.5 miles above sea level.
• The Himalayas typically keep growing more than 1 cm every year as a direct result of creeping collision between the masses of Indian and Asian land is moving up.
• According to prominent scientists, the Eurasian plate is now spreading out instead of pushing up. Such a stretching will later result in some gradual subsidence due to standard gravity.  

Answer 2

Mount Everest in the Himalayas, the world's tallest mountain, rises 29,029 feet (8,848 meters), or 5.5 miles (8.8 km) above sea level.

The Himalayas continue to rise more than 1 cm a year -- a growth rate of 10 km in a million years! If that is so, why aren't the Himalayas even higher? Scientists believe that the Eurasian Plate may now be stretching out rather than thrusting up, and such stretching would result in some subsidence due to gravity.
