🚨 2nd October | Wednesday 🚨

Pre notes

1. Rivers increase Everest's length

• Mt. Everest has risen 15-50 m due to erosion from the Arun River over 89,000 years

• Everest is 8,849 m, growing about 2 mm annually

• Arun River's erosion reduces crust weight, causing isostatic rebound, contributing ~10% to Everest's uplift rate

• Isostatic rebound: Occurs when surface weight decreases, allowing land to rise—like a boat rising as cargo is unloaded

• River merger effect: Merging of the Arun and Kosi rivers increased erosion and sediment transport, enhancing the gorge and boosting Everest's height

• Some geologists doubt the study's conclusions, citing uncertainties in river dating and geological assumptions
