GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Mount Chimborazo’s peak is the furthest point on Earth from Earth’s center. The summit is over 6, 800 feet [2, 072 meters] farther from Earth’s center than Mount Everest’s summit. Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain from base to peak at more than 33, 500 feet [10, 210 meters].

Detailed explanation-2: -Because of the equatorial bulge, the summit of Mount Chimborazo in the Andes is the point on the Earth that is farthest from the centre, and is 2, 168 m (7, 113 ft) farther from the Earth’s centre than the summit of Everest.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mount Chimborazo is an Andean stratovolcano in central Ecuador, looming so impressively over the country that, on a clear day, you can see it all the way from the large port city of Guayaquil, 90 miles away.

Detailed explanation-4: -Yup, the world’s highest mountain is actually Chimborazo-a stratovolcano in Ecuador that’s part of the Andes mountain range-because it’s the furthest point from Earth’s centre and, therefore, the highest in terms of distance.

Detailed explanation-5: -Have you ever wondered where our space junk go? Point Nemo is the most remote place on Earth-the place farthest from land. It is located in the South Pacific Ocean and lies around 2, 688 kilometers (1, 670 miles) from the nearest land. It is called “Point Nemo” because “nemo” means “no one” in Latin.
