Detailed explanation-1: -Mount Everest is the highest of the Himalayan mountains, and-at 8, 850 meters (29, 035 feet)-is considered the highest point on Earth. Mount Everest is a peak in the Himalaya mountain range. It is located between Nepal and Tibet, an autonomous region of China.
Detailed explanation-2: -K2 is the second tallest mountain in the world measured above sea level reaching 28, 252 Ft or 8, 611 meters. K2 is the second towering peak in the Karakoram Mountains and is the tallest of the two. That is why it is called K2. The Karakoram Mountain range is located in Pakistan and stretches into China’s Kashmir region.
Detailed explanation-3: -That prize goes to Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano in Hawaii. While it towers roughly 14, 000 feet above the island, much of its height lies submerged below sea level. From its base well underneath the Pacific to the summit, Mauna Kea measures in at 33, 484 feet-over 4 thousand feet taller than Mt. Everest.
