Which mountain range has the worlds highest peak?

Answer 1

The Himalayas, a large mountain range in southern Asia, contains Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain peak when measured from sea level.

The Himalayan range forms a barrier between the Plateau of Tibet to the north and the plains of the Indian subcontinent to the south. It constitutes the greatest mountain system on Earth and includes more than 110 peaks rising to elevations above 24,000 ft (7,300 m).

Measured in Distance from Earth's Center

There are several mountains which are higher than Everest, as measured from the centre of the earth, rather than measuring from sea level. This is because of the "equatorial bulge", in which the radius of the Earth at the equator is greater than that at the poles or mid-latitudes. The highest of these mountains are Ecuador's Chimborazo and Peru's Huascarán, both in the Andes.

Measured in Height above its Base

The volcano Mauna Loa in Hawaii is the tallest mountain from its undersea base to its summit, a total of 33,465 feet (4400 feet higher than Everest).
