Well, let's ask the experts, Davey.

So, anybody have some rough calculations on just how much energy would be
required to raise the Himalayas, the Alps, the Andies and the Rockies from
hills to the heights the reach today in say, 4,000 years?  And just what
would the surface of the planet be like with that much energy?
