Mount Everest is taller because it is the highest mountain in the world
no, none of the mountains are taller than Mount Everest. None of the mountains are higher in elevation than Mt. Everest. Mauna Loa is in fact taller, from base to top...it starts well below sea level.
Yes, Mount Everest is taller than the biggest volcano on Earth, which is Mauna Loa in Hawaii. Mount Everest stands at approximately 8,848 meters (29,029 feet) above sea level, while Mauna Loa measures about 4,169 meters (13,681 feet) above sea level. However, when measured from its base on the ocean floor, Mauna Loa is over 9,000 meters tall, making it taller than Everest from that perspective. Nonetheless, when considering elevation above sea level, Everest is the taller of the two.
Mount Mauna Loa is in the United States on the island of Hawaii. It is the biggest mountain in the world. mount Everest is the tallest, but Mauna Loa is the biggest measuring in height and girth.

No. Mauna Loa is a shield volcano.
The highest mountains in the world are in the Himalyas. Mount Everest is the tallest at over 29,000 feet, approximately 5-1/2 miles. The second highest is K2, also known as Mount Godwin Austen, at over 28,000 feet in height.NotesThe above is the standard information regarding elevations above sea level. However, the Hawaiian volcano Mauna Kea 13,796 feet above sea level, is a volcanic mountain that rises 33,000 feet from base to summit. When measured this way, Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain in the world. Mauna Loa, with an elevation above sea level that is just a little under Mauna Kea, is also taller than Everest. Mauna Kea is the largest volcano in the world, with an estimated volume of 18,000 cubic miles. The summit of Equador's Mount Chimborazo has the distinction of being the point farthest from the center of the earth at an elevation of 20,700 feet above sea level. This is because of the slight bulge in the planet around the equator. Chimborazo is about one degree south of the equator.Away from EarthThere is a mountain, Mount Olympus Mons, in Mars that is 14 miles tall and is over 3 times taller than Mount Everest.
Mauna Loa located on the Island of Hawaii is the largest subaerial volcano in both mass and volume, and has historically been considered the largest volcano on Earth. It is an active shield volcano and stands at 4,169 meters high. Mount Everest stands at 8,848 meters high making it the highest mountain on earth.
Mount Loa, a volcano in Hawaii, is estimated to be about 700,000 years old. It is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth and has been erupting for thousands of years.

Actually, the second largest mountain is Mount Everest. Mauna Loa is the worlds largest island, about a mile longer than Everest. Mauna Loa is mostly underwater however.
Although Mauna Kea has a lower elevation than Mt. Everest (because it's base is below sea level), if you were to compare Mauna Kea and Mt. Everest in their height (from base to crest), Mauna Kea is taller than Mt. Everest.
The only Mouna Loa I am familiar with is not only a volcano, but the largest active volcano in the world. It is located in the state of Hawaii which consists of only 4 counties - Hawaii, Honolulu, Maui and Kauai. Hope this helps.
