Besides moving upward, the mountain — actually the whole Himalayan mountain range — is moving in a northeasterly direction, toward China, by 1 / 16 inch [1.5 mm] to 1 / 4 inch [6 mm] each year.
Lisaks sellele, et see mägi kerkib, liigub ta – tegelikult kogu Himaalaja mäestik – kirde suunas Hiina poole 1,5 kuni 6 millimeetrit aastas.
