Modelling of the evolution of the Kosi drainage basin near Chomolungma suggests that a river capture event occurred approximately 89 ka ago. Isostatic rebound due to this capture event could contribute 10–50% of the total rock uplift rate in the Chomolungma region and might partly explain Chomolungma’s renewed uplift rate and anomalous elevation.

河流捕获增强了珠穆朗玛峰的抬升


对珠穆朗玛峰附近科西流域演化的模拟表明，大约 89 年前发生了一次河流捕获事件。由于这次捕获事件造成的等静压回弹可能占珠穆朗玛峰地区总岩石抬升率的 10-50%，并且可能部分解释珠穆朗玛峰的重新抬升率和异常海拔。
