How many feet taller is Mauna Loa than Mount Everest?
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.

Are volcanos bigger than mountains?
Sometimes. If you are talking about taller then it depends not bigger than everest!!
Is Mt Rainier an explosive or a quiet eruption?
Mount Rainier is one of many volcanoes in the Cascade Mountain Range. It is one of the tallest mountains in North America, and it did not gain this topographic stature by frequently blowing its top as Mount St. Helens did in 1980 or Mount Mazama did around 5677 B.C. creating Crater Lake; its tall stature would seem to indicate most of its eruptions have been "mountain-building" -- creating new rock from lava flows. However, Mount St. Helens and Mount Mazama are also both part of the same Cascade volcanic mountain range as Mount Rainier, so a mountain-destroying eruption similar to the St. Helens or even Mazama blasts (the latter, obvious by means of its more complete self-destruction, much stronger) is definitely possible. Even a mountain-building eruption, however, is likely to be rife with explosive phases, especially toward the beginning as it would 'clear the pipes.' Mount Rainier erupted as many as 6 times in the 1800s, but -- aside from tremors -- was quiet throughout the 20th century and, thus far, the 21st century. European explorers and settlers documented very noticeable volcanic plumes from Rainier during the 1800s. Relative to Mount St. Helens, Rainier is an older and taller mountain (and has more glacial volume and mass than St. Helens did even prior to its 1980 eruption), and many more people live within range of Rainier and the rivers that flow from its glaciers (susceptible to lahars and pyroclastic flows) than St. Helens. It is generally not believed that an eruption from Mount Rainier -- as with any Cascade volcano -- would not be as smooth and quiet as some of Hawaii's volcanoes, but there do seem to be more mountain-building eruptions (adding lava) than mountain-destroying eruptions (destroying the cone and leaving a crater).
Is mount shasta or Mount Rainier larger?
Mount Whitney (14, 497 ft.) is the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States. Mt. McKinley (Denali), in Alaska, is at 20, 320 ft. the tallest mountain in the US, and also the tallest in North America. Mt. Rainier, at 14, 409 is close behind Mt. Whitney. It should be noted, however, that Whitney and Rainier are different kinds of mountains. Whitney, formed of granite, is part of the Sierra Nevada range, a result of a "fault block" that involves the tilting of a massive piece of the Earth's crust. As such, it is extremely rugged, and much steeper on the east side than on the west. On either side, it is a more difficult climb than Rainier, requiring a lot of technical work. Mt. Rainier is a large, active volcanic cone. The most recent recorded volcanic eruption was between 1820 and 1854, but many eyewitnesses reported activity in 1858, 1870, 1879, 1882 and 1894 as well. As of 2008, there is no evidence of an imminent eruption. However, an eruption could be devastating for all areas surrounding the volcano, which includes Bellevue, Seattle, Tacoma and surrounding areas of Western Washington. Formed from lava flows, its sides are relatively shallow, smooth slopes, and it is easily climbed -- although not without risk. Glaciers, rather than walls, are its most notable obstacles.

How much taller is mount Everest than mountain Aconcagua?
Mount Everest height is 29,029 feet ( 8,848 metres) Mont Blanc height is 15,781 feet (4,810 metres). So Everest is 13,248 feet ( 4,038 metres) higher.
