FfFfFfFF 58,133 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 The highest point on Earth has a newly announced elevation. Mount Everest is 29,031 feet above sea level, according to survey results presented today. That is two feet higher than the altitude previously recognized by the government of Nepal. The elevation, which was announced on December 8 in a joint statement by the Survey Department of Nepal and Chinese authorities, is the culmination of a multiyear project to definitively measure the legendary mountain. As the first serious survey of Everest in 16 years, the effort has been closely followed by the geographic community—particularly scientists analyzing how a devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake in 2015 affected the region. Now that the results have been announced, representatives from both countries expressed extreme confidence in the new altitudes. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2020/12/new-height-of-mount-everest-announced-by-china-and-nepal/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipper 13,114 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 What could be the reason for this 2 feet increase? Is it somehow connected to global warming, a mountain growth spurt, more accurate technology to measure? 🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose marginally higher temperatures could expand space between atoms marginally but the difference would be barely measurable so definitely not 2 feet My guess is either more accurate measurements, or it literally did increase because of movements in tectonic plates I tried to read more of the article for more details but it doesn't let me.

ilocorB 548 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 If i recall correctly, he himalayas grow 6.1 centimeters each year. It’s because the tectonic plates that form the mountains are colliding Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
