Plate tectonics required to create a area where the land "grows" very rapidly, very often?

+0
−0

From what I understand, Mount Everest grows about 2.4 inches per year. I am trying to create an area of land that grows very often, often around 1 inch per day. As I'm not very good with plate tectonics, I was wondering what would be required to have that happen, and if it is even possible. I am planning on having that area of land be very unstable and unwelcoming, with lava flows very often, common earthquakes, rockfall, and the like. Ideally, whatever thing that causes the growth to happen would be relatively lethal.
