Mount Everest moved 3 cm due to shock of Nepal earthquake<\/p><\/div>\n

Observers with the department, which has monitoring equipment on the mountain, found that Mount Everest shifted 3 cm after the devastating quake, while the height of the world’s tallest mountain at 8,848 metre was left unaffected, state-run Xinhua news agency reported. This is contrary to reports by Europe’s Sentinel-1A radar satellite that world’s tallest peak may have shrank about 2.5 cm after the earthquake.<\/p>\n

Monitoring data collected by China’s National Administration of Surveying, Mapping and Geoinformation from 2005 to 2015 shows that the mountain has been moving at a speed of four cm’s per year and has been growing by 0.3 cm’s annually.<\/p>\n

The mountain is located on the collision belt for the boundary between the Indian and the Eurasian Plates, where the crustal movements are active.<\/p>\n

Two earthquakes, on April 25 and May 12, killed more than 9,000 people in Nepal, triggered landslides and destroyed half a million homes, leaving thousands without shelter just weeks ahead of monsoon rains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
