What is the tallest undersea mountain?

Answer 1

Mauna Kea (White Mountain), the tallest volcano on the "big island" of Hawaii, is likely the tallest mountain on Earth. Measured from its base, it is about 10,000 meters tall, but only 4205 m (13,796 ft) are above water.

There is no standard measurement for seamounts (submerged mountains), but notable is the 4000 m (13100 ft) Gregg Seamount in the Atlantic Ocean, which rises to within 800 m (2600 ft) of the surface. A shallower seamount, the Bowie Seamount off British Columbia, is within 24 m (79 ft) of the surface, meaning that in the roughest waves, its summit can break the surface and threaten shipping.

Answer 2

Mauna Kea on Hawaii is the largest mountain in the world if you count how much of it is underwater. Mauna Kea is 33,476 feet tall, with 19,680 feet under water and 13,796 above water. Beneath the ocean surface, Atlantis Massif is the tallest mountain completely underwater. It is 12,000 feet tall, and is almost twice as tall as the other mountains in the area. Scientists are currently studying Atlantis Massif to figure out how it got there and why it is so big.

Answer 3

The highest underwater mountain is Mauna Kea at an astonishing 33,476 feet from the earth's Pacific floor.
