Why does mount Everest keep growing?

Mount Everest keeps growing due to the ongoing collision of the Indian plate with the Eurasian plate. This tectonic activity causes the Earth's crust to push upward, resulting in the gradual rise in the height of the mountain. Additionally, the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates can also lead to the uplifting of Everest's summit.
