[00:00.93]Mount Everest, standing 8.85 kilometers above sea level, is Earth's tallest mountain.
[00:10.76]And Mount Everest is still growing.
[00:14.47]Mount Everest and the rest of the Himalayas are continuing on an upward movement that began at their birth around 50 million years ago.
[00:27.22]The mountains are a product of a collision between Eurasia and the Indian subcontinent.
[00:35.19]But Everest is growing more than expected.
[00:39.18]And, scientists now think they know the reason why.
[00:44.49]Everest's growth has to do with the major joining, or merger, of two nearby river systems.
[00:53.79]The Kosi river joined with the Arun river around 89,000 years ago, the researchers estimated.
[01:03.62]This change in the area's river system has led to Everest gaining around 15-50 meters in height.
[01:13.97]That suggests an upward movement rate of about 0.2-0.5 millimeters per year.
[01:23.54]The geological process at work, researchers said, is called isostatic rebound.
[01:31.77]Isostatic rebound involves the rise of land masses on Earth's crust when the weight of the surface declines.
[01:41.87]The crust, Earth's outermost part, floats atop hot, semi-liquid rock.
[01:49.31]In this case, the joining of the rivers resulted in increased erosion which carried off large amounts of rock and soil.
[02:00.99]This reduced the weight of the area near Everest.
[02:05.51]"Isostatic rebound can be likened to a floating object adjusting its position when weight is removed," said Jin-Gen Dai of China University of Geosciences in Beijing.
[02:21.44]Dai is one of the leaders of the study published recently in Nature Geoscience.
[02:28.62]"When a heavy load, such as ice or eroded rock, is removed from the Earth's crust, the land beneath slowly rises in response, much like a boat rising in water when cargo is unloaded," Dai added.
[02:47.21]The researchers, who used numerical models to study the development of the river system, estimated that isostatic rebound accounts for about 10 percent of Everest's yearly upward movement, or uplift rate.
[03:06.60]This geological process is seen in other places around the world.
