Summary
- Mount Everest is growing taller each year due to the erosion caused by the Arun River.
- The river’s erosive force lightens the mass of Everest, causing it to rise above its neighboring peaks.
- This process, known as isostatic rebound, contributes to Everest’s geological anomaly.
- The Arun River changed course thousands of years ago, leading to increased erosion and uplift in the region.
