I know everest grow each year as well. A little more does not seem like a big deal. |
Everest grows due to the tectonic pates pushing on eachother, this is a volcano that is growing due do huge amounts of magma building up inside, it's almost the size of a "supervolcano" and it's due to erupt :P Scary stuff, I'd say it's a big deal xD

Your post like two days, my post 3 minutes, the answer to this -priceless.
Is it near a big population? I could just go up and see if it is in the OP, but I will not. :P

It doesn't need to be near anyone, if it becomes a supervolcano (which it almost certainly will) than the ash clowd it produces will effect the whole world, air quality, air travel, sunlight etc. Think icelands volcano effecting europe a few months ago but on a global scale. And if the volcano is near people, many will die :/

Yes that would be bad. I come from a State called Washington. In 1980 a volcano there named Mt. St. Helens erupted. Massice devastation till this day, a few handfulls of people dead, and more ash than some places get snow! Think of the movie Dantes peak and that is how it was! Stil to this day, I hiked around it and for an 18 mile stretch you have to walk through the sulfur fields. I remember it being two streams that were just full of toxic chemicals from the mountain. Made it hard to breath, plus it was about 95 degrees! There are a lot of elk there now though, since there is so much food.

Yeah, I've heard about st. helens, the eruption in 1980 actually left a massive crater in the mountain! See many people associate lava with the damage the eruption causes, it's actually the ash clouds and the pyroclastic flow that are devastating.
