Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador is the farthest point on Earth's surface from the center of the planet due to the equatorial bulge. Therefore, even though Mount Everest is the highest peak above sea level, Mount Chimborazo is technically the closest mountain to the moon.
Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador is the most distant point from the Earth's center due to the Earth's equatorial bulge. The planet is not a perfect sphere; it bulges at the equator because of its rotation, making points along the equator, like Chimborazo, farther from the center than the poles. Although Mount Everest is the highest mountain above sea level, Chimborazo's location near the equator gives it a greater distance from the Earth's core. This unique geographical positioning is why Chimborazo holds this title.

Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador has the distinction of having the peak furthest from the center of the Earth, due to the bulging shape of the planet. Though Mount Everest is taller above sea level, Chimborazo's location near the equator puts it at a higher altitude when measured from the Earth's center.
Chimborazo in Ecuador is the mountain peak farthest from the center of the Earth. Even though Mount Everest is taller above sea level, Chimborazo's location near the equator, along with the Earth's bulging equatorial region, makes it the farthest point from the center.
mount Chimborazo is located in Ecuador.
Battle of Mount Chimborazo happened in 1534.
Mount Everest is the worlds tallest mountain at 29,000 feet. But, the world's highest elevation is the top of Mount Chimborazo. This mountain is on a bulge of the earth, so it is taller than Everest.
Chimborazo is located in the Andes. (In South America) It is a Volcano
Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador is the highest point on the equator, reaching an elevation of 6,268 meters (20,564 feet) above sea level. While Mount Everest is the highest peak in the world, Chimborazo's location near the equator gives it the distinction of being the point on Earth's surface farthest from the center of the Earth.
Chimborazo is a stratovolcano located in the Andes mountain range of central Ecuador, South America. It is the highest mountain in Ecuador, reaching an elevation of 6,268 meters (20,564 feet) above sea level.
Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador is the farthest point on Earth's surface from the center of the planet due to the equatorial bulge. Therefore, even though Mount Everest is the highest peak above sea level, Mount Chimborazo is technically the closest mountain to the moon.
I think Chimborazo, at 6,268 meters, is the highest mountain in Ecuador, unless there is one that drops into the ocean, and measured from its ocean floor base is technically 'taller'. Chimborazo is also the point furthest from the center of the Earth (since the Earth is wider at the equator). So by that measure, the peak of Chimborazo is the 'highest' point on the planet. Mt Everest is the highest above sea level, Mauna Lea is the 'tallest' (from base in the ocean floor).

It is an inactive volcano in the Cordillero Occidental range of the Andes and the highest mountain in Ecuador
Ecuador has very varied elevation because of the Andes mountains and the coast line. The highest elevation is 6,267 meters at the top of Mt. Chimborazo.
While Chimborazo is not the tallest mountain by height above sea level, With an elevation of 6268 m, Chimborazo is the highest mountain in Ecuador.
