The tallest mountains in the world include those that are completely or partially submerged in water. Therefore, Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain in the world. It rises more than 10,000 meters (32,808 feet) from the floor of the Pacific Ocean making it taller than Mt. Everest. It is located in Hawaii, USA.

The highest mountain in the world is Mt. Everest. Its elevation is 8448 meters (29,029 feet) above sea level. It is located in the Himalayas on the Nepal-China border. When referring to highest mountains, one is referring to those measured above sea level.
