What If Mountains Continued to Grow All the Time
What If Mountains Continued to Grow All the Time
Being the tallest mountain on the surface of our planet, Mount Everest’s peak reaches a dizzying height of 29,030 ft. But the most amazing thing about this giant is that it’s still growing! It gets one-tenth of an inch taller every year! But what if all mountains on Earth never stopped growing?
First of all, it would make flying impossible. Sailing, as well, would become too dangerous. Mountaineers wouldn’t be able to conquer mountain peaks anymore. The mass of all other mountains on Earth would be getting bigger and bigger as well. Let’s find out if this scenario is possible in real life.

SUMMARY:
-In a week, helicopters would stop flying in particularly mountainous regions. When, in about a month, mountains reach the height of 40,000 ft, people realize that traveling somewhere far away isn’t as easy as it used to be – flying would become too risky.
-There are more than 100,000 seamounts in the world, with about 30,000 of them in the Pacific Ocean. That’s why container and cruise ships would rest in ports until people try to figure out safe routes that won’t end up in any shipwreck.
-People would start to feel altitude sickness already at the height of 8,000 ft. Climbing any higher than Everest? Unlikely.
-The mass of all other mountains on Earth would be getting bigger and bigger as well! And the more substantial the mass of something becomes, the stronger the gravity of this object gets.
-From time to time, tectonic plates collide, and the plates’ touching edges get pushed upward forming new mountains. There are also volcanic mountains – molten rock starts to pile up, and eventually, a mountain is formed.
-The crust of the Red Planet isn’t divided into tectonic plates, the crust doesn’t move, and all the lava gets piled up into one tremendous volcano.
-By eroding the materials a mountain is made of, rivers can trigger landslides — and those don’t let the mountain grow as tall as it could otherwise.

@5:01 cutest mountain ever 😻😻😻
If mountain grows till space we would not need space ships to go on moon
Why you don’t said that mount Everest is in NEPAL🇳🇵🇳🇵
How will gravity increase ? After all the stuff that feed mountain to grows is it self from earth which already existed 😅
They just updated Everest height! Gained another 35 feet or something like that xD
Why do I feel like I learn more stuff watching bright side then going to school
Like if u relate
Mountains: **Become Bigger**
Caucasus: *oh no*
They’d do it if there on a weekend
LOVE YOU BRIGHTSIDE
No the tallest mountain is Mauna Kea
I say no to this
Really poseidon? POSEIDON ALREADY SUNK IN 1940S DUM DUM
No one can climb Mount Kailash
5:04 we ih
Muana Kea is the tallest mountain on Earth that is 32696ft !
Mauna kea is bigger than mt everest because most of it is hidden in in the ocean mt everest is the biggest on land
0:16 or Sagarmatha in Nepali
I love you bright side
Not explained properly
It will he a ice cream 🍦
the reason why mount everest is growing is cuz india is STILL crashing into asia and making the mountains in the himalais bigger
Mount Everest grows every year
6:27 I thought it says 25,000miles but it will be the size of earth if its that big😂🤣
how is Mt.Everest growing
*Gravity strong*
8848 .86 recent hight of MT Everest in Nepal 2020 Dec 8
0.86 taller than before . 😇🇳🇵
no it don’t give
1:54 LOL POSIEDON WAS HERE XD
493th
Ilove the easter egg
Biggest mountain is in my country. Nepal
Gravity would not increase.
Mountains are basically two tectonic plates slamming together and going up. On the opposite sides you’d have even larger canyons.
Mountains aren’t magically giving the earth mass. So the gravity would remain the same.
But there’s one bigger than Mount Everest but is this n the water it’s size it 33,000 ft
This channel makes me more smarter than other kids in school
Im the smartest in my school now
Dis Weird
Mountains do not grow you ignorant.
lol i loughed at the sight that said posiedon was here
