The speed at which mountains grow depends on the type of mountains. Mountains formed by seismic activity may form almost instantly if there is a violent upheaval in the earth. Volcanic mountains tend to form over a period of years as lava accumulates.

∙ 14y agoMountains at plate boundaries where one plate is pushing against another tend to grow. India is pushing against Asia, so the Himalayas are growing.
