Are the continents vertically lying on earth as they appear on globe?

Yes, basically. Any variations from the shape of a sphere (or more precisely, an ellipsoid) is extremely small. For example, the highest mountain has a height of almost 9 kilometers (above sea level); the radius of planet Earth is over 6000 kilometers, so the mountain's height is only about 0.15% of Earth's radius.

Why cant mountain get taller than 6 miles high on earth?

Mountains on Earth cannot get taller than about 6 miles high because at that height, the weight of the mountain causes the rock to flow like a liquid, ending any additional vertical growth. Additionally, the Earth's crust is not strong enough to support the weight of taller mountains, causing them to collapse under their own weight.
