User: Query: what is the tallest mountain on earth ?

Iteration: 2

Previous Attempts:
**Step 1: Understand the Question**

The question is: *"What is the tallest mountain on Earth?"*

**Step 2: Define "Tallest"**

- *Tallest by elevation above sea level*: The highest point measured from sea level to the summit.
- *Tallest by total height*: Measuring from the base of the mountain to its summit, including any portion below sea level.

**Step 3: Identify the Candidates**

1. **Mount Everest**
   - *Elevation above sea level*: 8,848.86 meters (29,031.7 feet).
   - *Location*: Border of Nepal and the Tibet Autonomous Region of China.
   - *Notable for*: Highest elevation above sea level.

2. **Mauna Kea**
   - *Total height from base to summit*: Approximately 10,210 meters (33,500 feet).
   - *Above sea level*: 4,205 meters (13,796 feet).
   - *Location*: Hawaii, USA.
   - *Notable for*: Tallest mountain when measured from base (ocean floor) to summit.

**Step 4: Compare and Analyze**

- **Mount Everest** is the highest point above sea level, making it the tallest mountain in terms of elevation.
- **Mauna Kea**, when measured from its base on the ocean floor, is taller in total height but has a lower elevation above sea level.

**Step 5: Conclusion**

The tallest mountain on Earth **above sea level** is **Mount Everest**, with an elevation of **8,848.86 meters (29,031.7 feet)**. However, if measuring the total height from base to summit, including parts below sea level, **Mauna Kea** is taller at approximately **10,210 meters (33,500 feet)**. Since the standard for mountain heights is based on elevation above sea level, **Mount Everest is widely recognized as the tallest mountain on Earth**.

But how tall is Everest from base to top? Or to put it another way, how high is Everest\'s base? geology mountains 2 A difference between the two examples that you mention is that Mauna Kea stands pretty much alone - it\'s a single mountain from seabed to peak.

The tallest mountain from base to peak above the sea is Mt McKinley (Denali) in Alaska. – user29677 Commented Sep 26, 2023 at 11:27 2 Answers 2 The height of Everest above its base depends on where one considers its base to be - and this depends on which side of the mountain one looks. According to Wikipedia , reasonable base elevations for Everest range from 4,200 m (13,800 ft)\n  on the south side to 5,200 m (17,100 ft) on the Tibetan Plateau,\n  yielding a height above base in the range of 3,650 to 4,650 m (11,980\n  to 15,260 ft). yeah defining the base is the hard part, technically much of the mountain is below ground, reminiscent of a iceberg. – John Commented Oct 5, 2019 at 1:15 The 1954 recorded height of 8,848 m remains the accepted figure for height. As for the elevation of Everest\'s base, it is 5,380 m (at 17,600 ft). Oh, interesting.

Mauna Kea Mauna Kea ,  dormant volcano , north-central Hawaii island, Hawaii , U.S. The focus of a state forest preserve, it is the highest point in the state (13,796 feet [4,205 metres] above sea level). Mauna Kea (Hawaiian: “White Mountain”), which last erupted about 4,500 years ago, is often snowcapped. Its dome is 30 miles (50 km) across, with numerous cinder cones, and is the site of a major astronomical observatory . Lava flows from Mauna Kea have buried the southern slopes of the Kohala Mountains (to the northwest), whereas its own western and southern slopes are covered with lava from Mauna Loa , its still-active neighbour. During the Ice Age a glacier about 250 feet (75 metres) thick covered the peak and formed Lake Waiau (the only alpine lake in the Hawaiian Islands) at 13,020 feet (3,970 metres). Several caves at heights of more than 12,000 feet (3,500 metres) have been discovered. There ancient Hawaiians quarried the basalt they used for adzes and other cutting tools. An extensive military training area is located on the slopes of Mauna Kea and extends to Mauna Loa. Britannica Chatbot'}]

But in early 2021, he decided to set his sights higher: namely on our planet’s tallest mountain , Mauna Kea ("White Mountain") in Hawaii. YT If you\'re wondering why we’re not talking about Mount Everest, it comes down to size vs altitude. Soaring to 8,848.8 m (29,031 ft) above sea level (asl), Everest – aka Chomolungma or Sagarmāthā – is the world\'s highest mountain . (Incidentally, Vescovo has also climbed that, back in 2012, which makes him the first person to visit Earth’s highest and lowest points , but that\'s a whole other story .) Vescovo waves the Texan flag on the summit of Everest in 2012 The top of Mauna Kea falls far below the lofty zenith of its Himalayan rival, however it is more than a kilometre taller than Everest when comparing the two from base to pinnacle. But more than half of this dormant volcano lies unseen underwater. Indeed, of Mauna Kea’s c. 10,211 m (33,500 ft) total height, only 4,207 m (13,802 ft) is above the sea. This makes it half the height of the iconic "8,000ers" – the 14 mountains that stretch in excess of 8,000 m (26,247 ft) asl. Avid adventurer Vescovo has also ventured to the North and South Poles (Last Degrees). In 2020, he received the Explorers Club Medal for his contribution to the fields of exploration and science So, how do you go about tackling a mountain that predominantly lies underwater?

But the title of “tallest mountain” depends on how you make your measurements. Here are three competitors for the crown.  Mauna Kea Olympus Mons Chimborazo Mauna Kea The dormant volcano Mauna Kea in Hawaii is one of several known peaks that are arguably taller than Everest—as long as you’re willing to award the title of “tallest” based on a technicality. The highest point of Mauna Kea is definitely not higher than Everest’s. At 13,796 feet above sea level, it’s less than half as high as Everest. So why is it such a strong challenger for the accolade of tallest mountain? It all hinges on those three simple words: “above sea level.” If you discard the water that surrounds Mauna Kea and measure the mountain from its underwater base—a measurement known as the “dry prominence,” or the solid bottom of all features—Mauna Kea is taller than Everest by almost 1640 feet. Starting at the point where Mauna Kea begins to rise out of the surrounding crust, the mountain has a total height of around 30,610 feet. Since no part of Everest is submerged, its dry prominence is the same as its height above sea level. But if you could place the two mountains side-by-side, on a flat plane, Mauna Kea would indisputably be the taller of the two. There are several factors that enable Mauna Kea to be taller than a mountain formed above sea level, but the main reasons are to do with the crust beneath it. Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust and therefore less prone to sag. It’s also a lot thinner than continental crust—about 4 to 6 miles thick, rather than 15 to 43 miles like continental crust.

At 8,848 meters (29,029 feet) Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world above sea level. The mighty mountain’s height has been known since the middle of the nineteenth century, but how did they figure it out? Altimeters were not highly accurate at the time. GPS didn’t exist. Obtaining this seemingly basic piece of geographic information took nearly a hundred years, thousands of person hours, and a lot of trigonometry.  Mount Everest, as it is known in English, is named for Sir George Everest, who was the surveyor general of India (then a British colony) until 1843. The actual work of measuring the mountain’s height, however, began with his successor, Andrew Waugh. Waugh commissioned a wide-ranging survey of the Himalayas . To measure Everest, Waugh’s surveyors used a method called triangulation. Observers examined the peak from several points. Knowing the distance from the points to the mountain, they were then able to measure the angle from Everest’s peak to their observation points. To calculate the mountain’s actual height above sea level, the observers themselves had to know their own elevation above sea level.\xa0Given the distance and the angle, basic trigonometry was used to calculate the mountain’s height relative to the observer.   But Waugh’s team was dogged by atmospheric refraction, or the bending of light over long distances as it passes through different densities of air.

Read: What Is Non Technical Climbing? Some of the rating systems in this article are used for a specific form of climbing. Rock climbing : this means using your hands and feet to climb up a vertical rock surface. May not include an ascent to the summit of a mountain. Ice climbing : this means using your hands and feet to climb up a vertical rock surface. May not include an ascent to the summit of a mountain. Mountaineering/ mountain climbing : climbing with the objective of reaching the summit of a mountain. May includes rock climbing, ice climbing, both or none (i.e. hiking or trekking). Alpine climbing : seen as the “tougher” form of mountaineering. Involves climbing to summits of high altitudes. Climbs are often in icy or snowy terrains and with a technical component. Ratings are typically assigned to a specific trail or route and not for the entire mountain. One '}]

To measure Everest, Waugh’s surveyors used a method called triangulation. Observers examined the peak from several points.
