What are the tallest eight mountain ranges in the world?
Because mountain ranges have varying heights, you cannot say which is the highest range. Although I suppose if you had nothing better to do you could compute the average heights. However, the highest mountain is Everest in the Himalayas, and it is still growing by a couple of centimetres a year, I believe.

Do mountains ever grow?
Absolutely! There are a few different ways they can grow. Mountain ranges form when tectonic plates push together, and that is how they grow. The Himalayas were formed by the Indian plate pushing into Asia, and they're still growing. Mountain ranges can also shrink when tectonic plates pull apart. For example, the Rockies are still technically growing, but the Appalachians are shrinking.
What is the elevation of Yukon's tallest mountain?
Canada's highest mountain, and North America's second-highest mountain, is Mount Logan. Logan is located in the St. Elias mountain range, in southwest Yukon. Logan is still getting higher because it is in one of the most tectonically active areas in Canada. According to the Geological Survey of Canada, the exact elevation of Mount Logan is still unknown. Although uplift is still occurring, current estimates of its elevation range from 5950 to 6050 meters.
What mountain range does the kokoda track cross?
