One guy stands at the bottom holding a really long tape measure and the other guy holds the other end and climbs up mountain. When he reaches the top he yells down the mountain saying how tall it is.
Mountains are typically measured by their height above sea level, a metric known as elevation. This is done using specialized equipment such as GPS devices or by using geometric leveling techniques. The highest point on a mountain is usually referred to as its summit.

Mountains are categorized based on their elevation and prominence. The categories include major mountain ranges, individual peaks, volcanic mountains, and subranges based on geographical location. Mountains can also be classified by geological features such as fold mountains, block mountains, dome mountains, and volcanic mountains.
A physical feature is a characteristic of a natural landscape that can be observed and measured, such as mountains, rivers, forests, or valleys. These features are created through natural processes like erosion, deposition, tectonic activity, or weathering.
A group of mountains is commonly referred to as a range or a mountain range.
The Montains And Valleys Are Measured By Ears
very carefully
They are measured by how far above the ocean they are. The ocean is called "sea level". Sea level is 0.
, Kilimanjaro is the tallest at 19,341feet/5895neters. =)
Seas are measured in depth, and they are deep and dark. Mountains are measured in height, and usually reflect attracted light, especially because the whitish color of the moon's surface reflects light so well.
The Hawaiian Island do not have the tallest mountains on earth. Our volcanoes would bee the tallest if it were measured from the base instead of sea level.
Anything and everything can be measured using numbers: distance between places, height of mountains or a flag pole, number of articles or people in a crowd, and so on, the list is very long.
Mountains are commonly measured by their height above mean sea level. Some mountains (like Mount Everest) actually rise from an elevated plateau and climbers do not start at sea level when climbing them. Others (on volcanic islands like Hawaii's Mauna Kea) extend from ocean floor bases thousands of feet below the surface. Generally, only undersea mountains, those that are completely submerged, are measured from base to summit.
Mountains are not usually measured in length. Mountain ranges, however, are measured this way. You may be thinking of the Trans-Antarctic mountain range, which measures about 3,500 Km in length, and is one of the longest mountain ranges on earth.
Wind chill would not be measured on the equator because it's too hot. It is generally only measured for temperatures below 45 degrees F. Only the highest mountains would get anywhere close to this.
Mountains are nornmally measured from sea level, thus Mount Everest is the tallest at 29,035 feet. However if you measured from a base below sea level, Mauna Kea is taller that Everest by 4436 feet
We cannot (yet) display diagrams or pictures, however mountains are usually measured using trigonometry. Which is a system in mathematics used to calculate the lengths and angles in a triangle without physically measuring them.
