Yes.  Animate the y-scale parameter.  Zero isn't allowed, but you can 
get as close to it as you want to start with something approximating 
a plane.  This is assuming you want the taller parts of the mountain 
to grow proportionately faster; if you want the mountain to thrust 
upward as if it were a solid object pushing out of the ground, you'll 
want to animate the water_level and y-translate parameters instead, 
reducing the water_level as you increase the y-translate.
