The researchers, who used numerical models to simulate the evolution of the river system, estimated that isostatic rebound accounts for about 10% of Everest's annual uplift rate.

However, the researchers argue that isostatic rebound caused by the rivers significantly amplifies this uplift, adding another layer of complexity to Everest’s growth story.

Everest isn't the only mountain in the rage getting taller, however, as the isostatic uplift affects all nearby mountains.

That translates to an uplift rate of roughly 0.01-0.02 inches (0.2-0.5 millimeters) per year. The geological process at work, they said, is called isostatic rebound.

This uplift outpaces the continued surface erosion caused by factors such as wind, rain and river flow. As this erosion continues, Everest's uplift rate from isostatic rebound may increase, Smith ...
