The HIGHEST mountain in the world is Mt. Everest, on the border between China and Nepal. The TALLEST mountain in the world is in Hawaii- Mauna Kea- when measured from the sea floor to the top of the mountain.
What's the tallest mountain in the world?
The answer depends a little bit on how you define "tallest" and "mountain". The highest elevation above mean sea level is Mt. Everest (Chomolungma), at 29,029 feet or 8848 m. However, Everest sits on top of an already high base. Reasonable figures for the "base" of Everest range from about 4200 m on the south to 5200 meters to the north, meaning Everest itself only accounts for about half, or slightly less, of the overall height. In contrast, Mt. McKinley (Denali) in Alaska is only 20,327 feet (6194 m) above mean sea level, but its base is a sloping plain with elevations between 300 and 900 m. If Mt. McKinley sat on a base as high as that of Everest, it would be at least 3000 feet higher than Everest. Also, there's Mauna Kea in Hawaii. It rises to only 13,796 feet (4205 m) above sea level, but its base is the ocean floor, meaning its height above base is over 10 km, nearly a mile taller than Everest even if you count Everest's base as part of its height.

How tall will Mt Everest be in one million years?
It is difficult to predict with certainty, but geological processes are constantly changing the Earth's surface. Mt Everest is currently growing at a rate of about 4 mm per year due to the collision of tectonic plates. In one million years, Mt Everest could potentially be significantly taller than its current height of 8,848 meters.
Is Mount Everest larger than Mauna Loa?

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.
