The highest mountain in Missouri is Taum Sauk Mountain. Its summit is 1772 feet above Mean Sea Level. However, the "tallest" mountain in Missouri is Black Mountain. From the base of Taum Sauk Mountain to its summit, there is a rise of about 700 feet in elevation. However, Taum Sauk rises from an already elevated plain. The elevation at the base of Black Mountain, along the St. Francis River, is about 540 feet above Mean Sea Level, and the summit is 1,502 feet.

How much does a mountain weigh?
There are several factors in determining how much a mountain weighs. How tall the mountain is, size of the mountain, it's density, and if someone is measuring the mountain from sea level or from just the base of the mountain are some of the factors to consider. For example Mount Everest is the highest mountain in altitude at 29,035 ft (8,850m)above sea level. Mauna Kea in Hawaii however, is the tallest mountain at 33,436 ft from its base in the bottom of the Pacific Ocean but only rises 13,796 feet above sea level. Now, Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador has an altitude of 20,703 feet (6,310 meters). But, Chimborazo has the distinction of being the highest mountain above Earth's center. Which would be noteworthy if measuring these mountains (mathematically speaking) from the same point of reference.
