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

Answer:

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.

Himalayas are ever shifting due to collision of Indian tectonic plate with the Asian plate, the very reason why we have these mighty mountain range. As the Himalaya grow high due to the tectonic push, it also falls down under its own weight. This fall allows Himalayas to grow side wards too.
