That' stait phrom The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
moyntains grow
a balloon?
Mountains actually can grow, like with volcanoes the lava that dries and turns into igneous rock (i think that's what it's called) and that can make the mountain taller
I agree that mountains can grow, and shrink as well. Mt Everest grows something like a quarter inch every year (don't quote me on it, this is just what I remember) because of the tectonic plates moving. Still, great riddle!
