What is the greatest mountain range on earth under the ocean and the greatest land mountain range?
# The greatest mountain range is the Mid-Ocean Ridge, extending 64,374 km (40,000 mi) from the Arctic Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, around Africa, Asia, and Australia, and under the Pacific Ocean to the west coast of North America. It has a greatest height of 4207 m (13,800 ft) above the base ocean depth. # The world's greatest land mountain range is the Himalaya-Karakoram. It countains 96 of the world's 109 peaks of over 7317 m (24,000 ft). The longest range is the Andes of South America which is 7564 km (4700 mi) in length. Both were created bythe movement of tectonic plates.
Would probably be the Himalaya-Karakoram chain, running more or less south-south east across the top of the Indian subcontinent, from Northern Pakistan to Nepal and Sikkim. The Karakoram while smaller in size, has more high mountains over 25,000 feet. The area known as Concordia, at the head of the Baltoro glacier in Pakistan, has 8 of the 25 highest mountains in the world within about a 50 mile radius, including K2, second highest.
