Question

When we enter puberty, we rapidly start to grow tall in a short period which is known as ___.

Answer 1

When we enter puberty, we tend to have a sudden burst of growth, growing as much as 10 cm tall within a year. This is known as a growth spurt. Growth spurts typically last for around 2 years. Girls initially grow faster than boys but eventually, at the age of 18-19, both reach their full height.
