High growth rate of about 0.5 meters (20 inches) per month. Every year she became higher about 6 meters (20 feet) and a width of 12 meters (40 feet). Another note to mention the addition of about 4 cm per year and if calculated, then within 25 years the addition of high-achieving children Rakata 190 meters (7,500 inches or 500 feet) higher than the previous 25 years. Causes of high mountain was caused by a material that came out of the belly of the new mountain.
