What Are the World's Tallest Mountains?
The world's tallest mountains were determined as measured from sea level.there are about 450 mountain peaks over 7,000 meters tall. Most of these are located in the following mountain ranges: Himalaya, Karakorum Kunlun, Hindu Kush, Hengduan, Pamir, Tanggula, Nyain'a. All of these ranges are in Asia, specifically in Nepal, China, India, Pakistan,Bhutan, Afghanistan, and Kazakhstan.Many islands are in fact undersea mountains, with just their tops poking out of the water. Mauna Kea in Hawaii is tallest, at over 10,000 meters. Measuring from the center of the planet gives yet a different result, with Ecuador's Chimborazo the tallest. This mountain is 6,384 kilometers(3,967 miles) from the Earth's core.
