Mountains can "grow" for a number of reasons. This is mainly caused by tectonic plates moving towards each other, the pressure forcing the land mass up, assuming that the two plates are of equal density or the less dense plate will sink below the denser plate. Magma (which is lava when underground) will also harden when reaching the surface so any mountains being formed by magma pools will continue to "grow" until the pool is depleted. This is different from the tectonic plates which will always increase the size of the mountains as they do not change direction.

Every 7 days the length of daylight changes by several minutes?

The length of daylight, the amount it changes from day to day, and whether it gets longer or shorter every day, depend on the time of year and your location on the Earth. They're different in every season and at every latitude, so there's no general description that's true for all places and times.
