Does mt everest grow every year?

Mount Everest does grow every year, but only by a small amount. The mountain is located on the boundary between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. The Indian Plate is slowly moving northward, and this movement causes the Himalayas to rise. Mount Everest is part of the Himalayas, so it is also rising due to the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates. However, the rate of growth is very slow. Mount Everest grows by about 0.4 inches (1 cm) per year.
