6 MYTHS ABOUT THE HUMAN BODY... DEBUNKED! Just how unique are your fingerprints? Appendix’s purpose? Why aren’t we totally human? How do we really taste things? Plus a couple more myths and misconceptions you thought were true! ua-cam.com/video/atmaFsb11rg/v-deo.html
SERIOUSLY! Mount Everest is the HIGHEST mountain. Mauna Kea is the TALLEST. Highest and tallest have different meanings. A two meter tall person standing at sea level is NOT higher than a one meter tall person standing on Mount Everest - he's taller but he's not higher. Also your claim about Chimborazo being closer to space is completely inaccurate as the atmosphere bulges with the earth. Being further from the center of the earth doesn't mean you're closer to space - it just means you're further from the center. To get to space you have more atmosphere to go through standing on Chimborazo than you do standing on Mount Everest thus Mount Everest is closer to space.
The Nanga Parbat is actually the highest visible mountain on the earth. This mountain has "just" a high of 8126m, but instead of Mt Everest the lowest valley (Indus Valley) is about 1000m high while the surrounding valleys at Mt Everest are approximately 5000m high, so the Nanga Parpat looks way taller. It also has the tallest face in the world, the Rupal face with 4600m straight elevation. Pretty impressive imo
Thank you, I’ve been trying to find out something like this all night(the highest actual climb). Every attempt at searching came up with Chimborazo or Mauna Kea. Wasn’t interested in the bloody shape of the earth or what’s under the sea. Your comment has helped and I can now sleep easy, at 3:17am.
@@flapperjj95 no problem, I think this mountain doesn't get enough attention, I also had to search a long time to find this result. Need to sleep too, its already 4:30am :P
@@ksiix5661 haha, excellent. I cannot believe that there isn’t much/any reading material out there on this subject, surely someone has thought about writing about the visual impression of mountains or on the highest mountains from the valley floor to peak.
That was what I wanted to comment. Yes, Nanga Parbat is the tallest, largest mountain in the world. I mean what is a mountain? A structure, no? At its base the top of Nanga Parbat is the heighest therefore that makes this mountain the tallest in the world. Imagine a hump in the ground at 8900m altitude, a little 5m tall mountain at 8900m altitude. That would make that little mountain the tallest? No. A height should be measured from its base. Nanga Parbat is the tallest mountain on earth.
"Everything you learned as a kid is a lie!" Well, no, they told us that Mt. Everest stands highest above (mean) sea level. And that's true. They even gave us the height. Yet it's true that there are other ways to define "highest," and Chimborazo in Ecuador, 6263 m, is farthest from Earth's center, which, at 1º 28' S gives it most of Earth's equatorial bulge. Meanwhile, Mauna Kea is highest from "base to peak," with a base that's very deep below sea level. But there's actually a 4th way to define tallest/highest, with yet another winning entry: "Farthest from Earth's rotation axis," which is where on the ground the gravity is weakest. That title is held by Mt. Kenya, which, at 5199 m, but even nearer the equator (0º 9' S) than Chimborazo, puts it farther from the axis, yet not as far from the center as Chimborazo. Fred
With respect to this definition of tallest/highest mountain as: "Farthest from Earth's rotation axis", if there was a mountain at the pole, say at the north pole, which is as tall as say 15,000 km, then, still it is not tallest because it is not farthest from the rotation axis. And as a matter of fact, this hypothetical mountain has zero height following the definition of yours.
@@dragonfly9786 Yes, it's admittedly a very narrow definition; and "tallest" probably isn't the right description of it. But as Earth is rotating, it makes the largest circle in space. Fred
Lmao wat do u mean by Above the sea....FYI Everest doesn't flow on sea Lol Read some science n geography books instead of nonsense articles n videos on internet... Water is the best way to measure n compare ... that's y Everest is the highest
Mauna Kea is actually even taller, it’s so big that it actually depresses the ocean floor by around 6 kilometers (as does Mauna Loa which is only a little smaller than Mauna Kea) meaning that it’s more than 17,170 meters tall (Mauna Loa is around 17,170 meters in height)

... "a little known stratovolcano named Chimborasso ..." Little known to the author maybe, but actually Chimborasso is a world-famous mountain. Many people know its name. I think it was once even thought to be the highest mountain in the world.
I hate to spoil your lie, but this video is titled the "Highest" mountain in the world, not the tallest. Mt. Everest goes up higher, even though mauna kea is taller
Mount everest is world no.1 peak highest/tallest mountain in the world. Mt. Everest, which stands at 8,850 meters (29,035 feet) above sea level, undeniably has the “highest altitude” in the world. The distinction for the tallest mountain in the word, however, belongs to Mauna Kea which has an altitude of only 4,205 meters (13,796 feet).
one more thing about everest is that it's NOT just the mountail that's that tall everest it's self is just 3,3km . . . . . and the remaining 5,5km is the surrounding landscape so it's NOT aboud just the height of the mountain . . . . . . . . . . BUT also about the height of the landscape
I hear this argument all of the time. Measured from the bottom of the ocean, such and such mountain is the tallest. Mountains like Everest have roots that extend well below sea level, in fact the base of Everest is where the core and mantle meet. Everest is not a volcano but it formed as molten rock uplifted as the plate India is on crashed into the Asia plate.
On a clear day, you can see Mount Everest from plains of Nepal ( 200 - 100 metres). So basically you're seeing more than 8 km into the sky. Everest is still an wonder.
It should be a list about perspective as well In my city, the mountain is 2000 meters above sea level, but from my perspective it looks smaller in height than the empire state Denali mountain however, does look like a damn titan from the ground
If you count the continent that Everest is on it would taller then Mauna Kea. If your measuring from the bottom of Everest and not sea level the Denali is taller.
Depends on how you go about measuring it. From sea level (the traditional way), from the base (wherever that might be, even the bottom of the ocean), or from where you would start climbing it. Or, using some obscure criteria. Since elevation is traditionally measured from sea level, Everest is considered the tallest.
You're correct my man I am close to space as I ever were right now as well because earth is part of space. ie earth in space, just like Jupiter in space
Based on the two I've seen, your videos are terrific! HOWEVER! You made one fundamental error in this one by conflating how TALL a mountain is and how HIGH it is. They are fundamentally different, but you used them more or less interchangeably. Still, I'm digging these vdeos enough that I'm going on to the next one. Keep up the good work!
Why would it make a difference. If you measure Mauna Kea from the bottom of the sea then SURELY you must also measure Everest from the Bottom of the sea? Just because it's further away from the coast does not mean it doesn't rise up from the same level?
Also it wouldn't be the closest you could be to Space. There is more atmosphere between you and space on top of Chimborazo than there is on top of Everest.
@@dernwine Not the same thing. Mauna Kea is one distinct separate land mass by itself. It built itself up from the bottom of the sea as one unit. Everest, on the other hand, is just one point in a large mass of uplifted rocks; it's not a separate unit.
The Earth is a cube, the Moon is a giant gray paper, Mountain Dew is the shortest mountain, and dinosaurs died 65 millions years ago because of the Dinosaurs Common Cold. Every one needs to go back to school! ;)
Everest is still the highest, because if you are counting the bases of both mountains, most of Everest is in the higher elevation of the land around it. You can’t have different levels of land masses and then count under the water but not include that same level for Everest.
@@finalfrontier001 i dont know what i wrote but Mount Everest is made by colliding plates while the tallest mountain from base to summit is from a hot spot
Sea level changes all around the world. That’s how Mountains are measured. The center of the Earth doesn’t change. If Chimborazo is farther away from Earth’s center, shouldn’t it be considered the highest peak on Earth? If anyone wants to debate or give a reason why a mountain shouldn’t be measured from the center of the Earth, I’m all ears.
Chimborazo has the highest distance from the centre of earth. That is right. But does it mean that it is closest point to space? Space is a definition from the atmosphere. Gravity is less at this point because Earth isn't a perfect ball. So the question is the atmosphere above Chimborazo and Mt. Everest same in hight or is it also different. And if it is different where is less atmosphere above. If I had to take a guess I would say Mt. Everest has the thinner atmosphere and so it is closer to space.
Helloweener : Finally you are pointing out the logic which needs to be confirmed about the height of the atmosphere above Chimborazo and Everest. Without this data nothing can be said conclusively about which mountain is closest to the space !
i would also guess that propably at the peak o everest the atmosphere is much less dense(6.9%its given on some tables),but i have heard that climbing and residing at lets say a high altitude of 6000 m at the Andes around equator seems to be like being at more than 6500m in Himalayas-cause even a small drop like 0.5% in oxygen concentration would be expected to have impact on the performance status(others included like relative humidity i suppose)-on the scales i found online there is no information on the variations of oxygen concentration at different altitudes along with the different meridians and paralles of the planet-i guess again that this knowledge exist-repsect to sience :)-if u find anything plz respond
Exactly! This guy gets so many things wrong in his videos (at least partially) and hides behind semantics and shifting the goal posts. Figures he didn't upload in more than a year, must be exahausting to find new ways to mislead your audience.
look at the stretched shape of earth; the atmosphere will be stretched accordingly, remember from basic laws of physics, the gravitational force between two objects is applied from their center of mass, gravity is constantly pulling atmosphere away from Chimborazo. Chimborazo has the least distance from space.
Mt. Everest is the tallest from sea level. But even if you remove all the water in the sea Everest would still be the tallest (not Mauna Kea) with respect to the ocean floor.
It's not, it's just an inperfect sphere. They exaggerate it everywhere because they are retarded or something. If u went to space, Earth would look as a perfect sphere since it is just *very slightly* oval, but it's imperceptible. So its more a sphere than an oval, it doesn't look like in the video at all
Hey Ive been looking for lists/rankings of mountains from base to peak. Cant find any! Do you have any hook ups. To me thats the measurement that makes a mountaina ctually look the most impressive to the eye.
I heard the atmosphere also bulges at the equator making Everest or a high latitude peak like Denali being a better contender for being closest to space. Something to do more research on. Let me know if you find out the correct answer.
Not sure Chimborazo is not close to space because earths atmosphere also bulges on equador so we have to consider something like which one is closest to karmen line
We don't messure how tall a mountain is by comparing it's peak to it's base, but the total heights compared to the sea level. So yeah, Mt. Everst is still the highest. And it's the closest you can get to space too. Because with your defintion, space would be cramped equally to the shape of the earth because the atmosphere too.
If your basing the height of a the Hawaiian mountain from the bottom of the ocean the you would have to do it for Everest too because Everest is on a continent, basically a huge island, just because Hawaii is an island or “small continent” (Not really) doesn’t mean you can’t apply the same rules to Everest, if you measured Everest from the ocean floor (even though it’s hella far from the mountain) to the summit, it would be way taller then Hawaiian mountain.
@@kingofflames738 Ah so is this from the foot of the mountain?I've always wondered which mountain actually has the highest climb from the foot of the mountain,so do you know if k2 has a higher climb etc?
Any other Americans having trouble remembering how many meters and kilometers these mountains are so you can make the calculations yourself? My mind keeps trying to auto do them meters to feet conversion, then forgetting the old number once a new number is thrown at me.
But with the earth being a flattened spheroid, surely our atmosphere is a similar but bigger spheroid. leading to the conclusion that the equator is NOT where you can get closest to space by climbing a mountain. it would probably be on the south Pole where the atmosphere is 'thinnest' (no appropriate mountain included in the package;-)
This is the type of convoluted video that has to have every statement that is supposed to be factual qualified by by 3 more statements so you can understand what the guy is supposed to be trying to prove, what a waste of time.
Ummmm absolutely not. We can count whats under the water for Mt. Everest as well. Mt Everest is the tallest, you can't count for one and not the other then claim the other is taller.
Lmao wat do u mean by Above the sea....FYI Everest doesn't flow on sea Lol Read some science n geography books instead of nonsense articles n videos on internet
Yeah!That's what I was thinking too..I am thinking that there were probably a lot more mountains in the deep sea that hasn't been discovered yet..the tallest mountain might be in the sea..
So why is it that some mountains are measured from sea floor, some mountains are measured from the centre of the earth and some mountains are measured from sea level? Also, at what point does an island become not an island since every bit of land is surrounded by water and you can follow any coastline and end up where you started? Sometimes it seems like someone wants to keep using a different measuring stick or point of reference to prove that something isn't what it is because relative to something else it isn't.
Conventions! Those are really pertinent observations, it's all arbitrary indeed. There is no right way to measure a mountain. One could rightfully say Mauna Kea, Chimborazo or Everest are the tallest, in the same way one could say none of those are. It's all builded on top of our choosen parameters (witch are just utterly arbitrary). That holds true when we think about what islands are, as you said, it's land surrounded by water - a.k.a ALL land. But to fix that, we use the term "continent" for particularly big islands, in a way that makes us "feel" like they're not also islands. Like Australia, witch feels like an island but it's called a continent, because it's too big. And if we called Australia an island, we would also have to call all of America, Antarctica and ALL of Afro-Eurasian islands too (as Africa, Asia and Europe are only a single "island" divided politically. [for you can trace a continuous ciclical line on the coastlines of these 3 divisions]). Because of these conventions Greenland is considered to be the biggest Island on Earth's surface, despite being much smaller than Australia. So yeah it's bullshit.
@@ΕιρήνηΚαζάκουΔέλλιου I live in nepal and even i have also not seen it once. I have seen most eight thousanders of world and they are so majestic. But have not seen everest yet,
Bit of hair splitting going on here. The standard for altitude (and elevation) is relative to sea level. By that standard Everest takes it. Nice try though.
Very interesting video. I have never heard it put that way. That was fun. Thanks I have driven through the himilaya's from Lhasa to Chengdu and also driven from Calgary to Vancouver in Canada. It seemed to me that from the base to the summit the rockies were much taller. The base of the mountains that I saw in Tibet started at 3000m above sea level though. Certainly the air was much thinner in Tibet. It is crazy what happens at high altitude.
Yah the "rise" of a mountain aka its "base to peak" or "base to summit" to me is truly the most impressive measure a mountain can have but GOOD LUCK finding any lists ranking this!!!!! By this measurement, Denali in Alaska, and Logan in Yukon, Canada are probably the most impressive on Earth! And oddly enough they are ALSO the 2 most MASSIVE (volumous) mountains I believe.
when a meteor hits the earth and evaporates all its ocean, mount Everest is still the tallest mountain as you will measure the height of the mountain starting from the deepest point (as the new ref. point) on earth's surface viz. the Mariana trench.
I'd usually shrug it off as depending on how you measure, but i've played enough space games to understand that the highest point on a planet is where the atmosphere on the surface is least dense, so it's pretty weird to see just how much of an effect a simple altitude number has on people and the dang consumer market.

Everest sits on the land. That's its base. It doesn't go deep under because down under, is the earth with flat altitude. That means it is not a mountain anymore. Mauna Kea still retains a climbing altitude below the sea, just like a mountain shape.
Fake I'm from Hawaii so I know I saw Mauna key with my own eyes and I went to Nepal and saw Everest from Everest base camp it's not bigger trust me it's the biggest mountain it the world
I am just kidding, the Earth is not a perfect sphere because it rotates pretty quick, but in the future it will have a more perfect sphere cause the Earth’s rotation is slowing down a bit
Mount Everest: I'm the tallest! Mauna Kea: No, I'm the tallest. Mount Everest: If it weren't for India and Nepal blocking the ocean, I'd be 60,000 feet. Mauna Kea: No, If it weren't for India and Nepal blocking the ocean, you'd be 0 feet.

@@dernwine Not the same thing. Mauna Kea is one distinct separate land mass by itself. It built itself up from the bottom of the sea as one unit. Everest, on the other hand, is just one point in a large mass of uplifted rocks; it's not a separate unit.
The Earth is a cube, the Moon is a giant gray paper, Mountain Dew is the shortest mountain, and dinosaurs died 65 millions years ago because of the Dinosaurs Common Cold. Every one needs to go back to school! ;)
Everest is still the highest, because if you are counting the bases of both mountains, most of Everest is in the higher elevation of the land around it. You can’t have different levels of land masses and then count under the water but not include that same level for Everest.
Nope
Who lied to you
You don't know how much under sea level goes mt Everest
Everest is too far from the sea to even count for it .
Mount Everest is from a hots spot in beneath the earths crust so it be below sea level since it is from two plates colliding with eachother
@@sparky2_0 that would be the crust nothing to do with moun everest.
@@finalfrontier001 i dont know what i wrote but Mount Everest is made by colliding plates while the tallest mountain from base to summit is from a hot spot
One shorts said everest is cheating
Hights of mountain are measured from sea level,so MY EVEREST will always be the tallest!
Who lied to you
The number of people from my country butt hurt without even watching the video properly is amazing lol
Piyus Gurung Mount everest is in Nepal Top 10 mountain of world....out of 10 8 are on Nepal
Everest is tallest if measured from SEA LEVEL. If measured from centre of the earth, or closest to outer space, it is effectively Chimborazo.
Now! There are 14 top highest mountains who are 8 thousand above, they lie in Nepal. The rest 8 lies in other countries.
I can't wait till "butt-hurt" is a term of the past.
They are close to indians, what can they do.
Fake. Mt everest is the tallest is the earth but which one is talller? FREAKING OLYPUS MONS
Facts my gut
IKR
yes but he was according it to earth not the solar system
Yeah.... FREAKING STUPID MONS
Dumbass mauna kea is still taller than everest
Mt. Everest is one of the largest animals who could fit 1,000 Wailords
so then, Everest is still the highest point lmao
no
yes
Sea level changes all around the world. That’s how Mountains are measured. The center of the Earth doesn’t change. If Chimborazo is farther away from Earth’s center, shouldn’t it be considered the highest peak on Earth? If anyone wants to debate or give a reason why a mountain shouldn’t be measured from the center of the Earth, I’m all ears.
Chimborazo has the highest distance from the centre of earth. That is right. But does it mean that it is closest point to space?
Space is a definition from the atmosphere. Gravity is less at this point because Earth isn't a perfect ball. So the question is the atmosphere above Chimborazo and Mt. Everest same in hight or is it also different. And if it is different where is less atmosphere above. If I had to take a guess I would say Mt. Everest has the thinner atmosphere and so it is closer to space.
Helloweener : Finally you are pointing out the logic which needs to be confirmed about the height of the atmosphere above Chimborazo and Everest. Without this data nothing can be said conclusively about which mountain is closest to the space !
i would also guess that propably at the peak o everest the atmosphere is much less dense(6.9%its given on some tables),but i have heard that climbing and residing at lets say a high altitude of 6000 m at the Andes around equator seems to be like being at more than 6500m in Himalayas-cause even a small drop like 0.5% in oxygen concentration would be expected to have impact on the performance status(others included like relative humidity i suppose)-on the scales i found online there is no information on the variations of oxygen concentration at different altitudes along with the different meridians and paralles of the planet-i guess again that this knowledge exist-repsect to sience :)-if u find anything plz respond
Exactly! This guy gets so many things wrong in his videos (at least partially) and hides behind semantics and shifting the goal posts. Figures he didn't upload in more than a year, must be exahausting to find new ways to mislead your audience.
look at the stretched shape of earth; the atmosphere will be stretched accordingly, remember from basic laws of physics, the gravitational force between two objects is applied from their center of mass, gravity is constantly pulling atmosphere away from Chimborazo. Chimborazo has the least distance from space.
the highest mountain is mount everest cause i learn that in geography
Daisy Fajardo its not mouna kea is the tallest
Marilyn Fernandez That’s not what she said... she said highest...
When you go to the summit of Chimboraźo,The summit of Everist will be nearly 2 miles below you.
Dayyym!

They knew.
Mt. Everest is the tallest from sea level. But even if you remove all the water in the sea Everest would still be the tallest (not Mauna Kea) with respect to the ocean floor.
When the us even wants the tallest mountain
But the tallest free standing mountain is in the US (mt denali)
@@Tatusiek_1 *Kilimanjaro in Africa. Denali is part of a range
Them: the earth is actually an oval shape-
Me: my life is a lie
It's not, it's just an inperfect sphere. They exaggerate it everywhere because they are retarded or something. If u went to space, Earth would look as a perfect sphere since it is just *very slightly* oval, but it's imperceptible. So its more a sphere than an oval, it doesn't look like in the video at all
Is our atmosphere perfectly round? Or oval?
The highest point from sea level is Mount Everest.
The highest from base to peak is Mauna Kea.
The highest on land from base to peak is Denali.
Hey Ive been looking for lists/rankings of mountains from base to peak. Cant find any! Do you have any hook ups. To me thats the measurement that makes a mountaina ctually look the most impressive to the eye.
I heard the atmosphere also bulges at the equator making Everest or a high latitude peak like Denali being a better contender for being closest to space. Something to do more research on. Let me know if you find out the correct answer.
Yeah. This video is a perfect example of a bro fact
So Everest is the highest from sea level
Chimborazo is the highest to space
Mauna kea is the tallest from base to peak underwater, alright 👍
Not sure Chimborazo is not close to space because earths atmosphere also bulges on equador so we have to consider something like which one is closest to karmen line
The mountain in the thumbnail you called "everest" is actually called "island peak" which near mount everest
How about if you measure Mt. Everest from the crust and not just from sea level. I am sure it is still higher than hawaii.
BACE TO SUMMIT NOT FROM THE CRUST TO SUMMIT
We don't messure how tall a mountain is by comparing it's peak to it's base, but the total heights compared to the sea level. So yeah, Mt. Everst is still the highest. And it's the closest you can get to space too. Because with your defintion, space would be cramped equally to the shape of the earth because the atmosphere too.
I strongly believe that my next door neighbour has the biggest mountains with lovely peaks. She is literally The lady from next door 😜
Underrated
Do a video & share.
If your basing the height of a the Hawaiian mountain from the bottom of the ocean the you would have to do it for Everest too because Everest is on a continent, basically a huge island, just because Hawaii is an island or “small continent” (Not really) doesn’t mean you can’t apply the same rules to Everest, if you measured Everest from the ocean floor (even though it’s hella far from the mountain) to the summit, it would be way taller then Hawaiian mountain.
Everest's height from base to peak is around 5000m
by your logic, measuring the Hawaii mt from sea level. you would have to do the same with Everest...
Ashtonian Gaming
Everest doesnt go that far down. If you would ignore the Sea Level Mount Everest would only be 4.5km high
@@kingofflames738 Ah so is this from the foot of the mountain?I've always wondered which mountain actually has the highest climb from the foot of the mountain,so do you know if k2 has a higher climb etc?
Any other Americans having trouble remembering how many meters and kilometers these mountains are so you can make the calculations yourself? My mind keeps trying to auto do them meters to feet conversion, then forgetting the old number once a new number is thrown at me.
But with the earth being a flattened spheroid, surely our atmosphere is a similar but bigger spheroid. leading to the conclusion that the equator is NOT where you can get closest to space by climbing a mountain. it would probably be on the south Pole where the atmosphere is 'thinnest' (no appropriate mountain included in the package;-)
Everest is still closer to space than Chimboraso since space starts 100km measured above sea level - which follows the Earth's shape
i get your point but how can you climb a underwater rock?
i still think the highest point is everest
kensey ann you are right it is the night above sea level 😁😁😁
This is the type of convoluted video that has to have every statement that is supposed to be factual qualified by by 3 more statements so you can understand what the guy is supposed to be trying to prove, what a waste of time.
I was looking forward to see this comment, Thnx.
Yep
Ummmm absolutely not. We can count whats under the water for Mt. Everest as well. Mt Everest is the tallest, you can't count for one and not the other then claim the other is taller.
This video is for them who want to satisfy themselves by saying their 'Cat is actually Cheetah'😂😂.
Mt. Everest is the tallest until the other one rises from the Ocean..Mt.Everest is the tallest case closed.
Lmao wat do u mean by Above the sea....FYI Everest doesn't flow on sea Lol
Read some science n geography books instead of nonsense articles n videos on internet
two of u are LIAR LIAR PANT ON FIRE
Ok let’s just say Mt Everest is the tallest mountain:)
Too easy 😘 and, quite possibly, wrong. Rupes Nigra, anyone???
We have also big mountains in the ocean.
Smart me!
Yeah!That's what I was thinking too..I am thinking that there were probably a lot more mountains in the deep sea that hasn't been discovered yet..the tallest mountain might be in the sea..
@@slash9012 Yeah South East Asia near the Philippines.
Slash Nah the oceans have been scanned many times, there are no mountains or trenches we don’t know about...
All mountains-I am the highest mountain in the universe
Olympus mons-Laughing in the corner*😂🤣
Not universe only solar system
So why is it that some mountains are measured from sea floor, some mountains are measured from the centre of the earth and some mountains are measured from sea level? Also, at what point does an island become not an island since every bit of land is surrounded by water and you can follow any coastline and end up where you started? Sometimes it seems like someone wants to keep using a different measuring stick or point of reference to prove that something isn't what it is because relative to something else it isn't.
Conventions! Those are really pertinent observations, it's all arbitrary indeed. There is no right way to measure a mountain. One could rightfully say Mauna Kea, Chimborazo or Everest are the tallest, in the same way one could say none of those are. It's all builded on top of our choosen parameters (witch are just utterly arbitrary). That holds true when we think about what islands are, as you said, it's land surrounded by water - a.k.a ALL land. But to fix that, we use the term "continent" for particularly big islands, in a way that makes us "feel" like they're not also islands. Like Australia, witch feels like an island but it's called a continent, because it's too big. And if we called Australia an island, we would also have to call all of America, Antarctica and ALL of Afro-Eurasian islands too (as Africa, Asia and Europe are only a single "island" divided politically. [for you can trace a continuous ciclical line on the coastlines of these 3 divisions]). Because of these conventions Greenland is considered to be the biggest Island on Earth's surface, despite being much smaller than Australia. So yeah it's bullshit.
Mt. Everest was the highest. And Mauna Kea was the tallest that is how
Instead of cards against humanity "tectonics against humanity"
I live in Nepal I know that Mount Everest is highest
Lucky you! I wish I could see the highest mountain on my own.
@@ΕιρήνηΚαζάκουΔέλλιου I live in nepal and even i have also not seen it once. I have seen most eight thousanders of world and they are so majestic. But have not seen everest yet,
Who lied to you
Bit of hair splitting going on here. The standard for altitude (and elevation) is relative to sea level. By that standard Everest takes it. Nice try though.
stop
Guy: Though the classic image of the earth is a sphere, it’s not!
Flat earthers: WE’RE NOT CRAZY!!
tallest mountain in solar system is: Olympus Mons tall=22.000+ Km
Very interesting video. I have never heard it put that way. That was fun. Thanks
I have driven through the himilaya's from Lhasa to Chengdu and also driven from Calgary to Vancouver in Canada. It seemed to me that from the base to the summit the rockies were much taller. The base of the mountains that I saw in Tibet started at 3000m above sea level though. Certainly the air was much thinner in Tibet. It is crazy what happens at high altitude.
Yah the "rise" of a mountain aka its "base to peak" or "base to summit" to me is truly the most impressive measure a mountain can have but GOOD LUCK finding any lists ranking this!!!!! By this measurement, Denali in Alaska, and Logan in Yukon, Canada are probably the most impressive on Earth! And oddly enough they are ALSO the 2 most MASSIVE (volumous) mountains I believe.
Flat earthers, you have been proven right, but also wrong. The earth is neither FLAT OR ROUND. HAHA
I think Mount Everest is the most dangerous mountain to climb but not the tallest
No k2 is the most dangerous because its straight like hell research it ...however Everest has the most deaths because more people climbs it
I stand by the fact that mt. Everest is the tallest mountain since Mauna kea is actually a volcano😌💪
Ok...but the Himalayas was also formed by a volcano and molten rocks
Do if ketchup causes skunk smell go away
You're wrong. You asked what's the highest mountain, which is mount Everest. Mauna Kea is just the tallest mount, since most of it's underwater.
Kirby PPG water is earth
Mars : am i a joke to you?
Even Venus has higher mountains than earth 😂
no one cares
when a meteor hits the earth and evaporates all its ocean, mount Everest is still the tallest mountain as you will measure the height of the mountain starting from the deepest point (as the new ref. point) on earth's surface viz. the Mariana trench.
I'd usually shrug it off as depending on how you measure, but i've played enough space games to understand that the highest point on a planet is where the atmosphere on the surface is least dense, so it's pretty weird to see just how much of an effect a simple altitude number has on people and the dang consumer market.
Thank you to the guy who made this video. You opened my eyes.
Everyone else in the world is stupid to think Everest is huge and should be climbed.
hes wrong lol, everest is still the highest mountain. if that volcano mountain thing wasnt on the equator everest would still be taller.

Try again. It’s Mt. Lamlam/jumglong on Guam, the base is in the Marianas Trench. lol
@@JanaeCerteza Im not speaking about bodies submerged under water
Everest = Emperor has no clothes.
Don’t all mountains eventually go down to the bottom of the ocean? Hence Everest would still be the tallest if measured under those parameters?
Brian Westbay no.
Good its the point
Oh, so, Everest just sits on a raft then. I understand. 🤔
Everest sits on the land. That's its base. It doesn't go deep under because down under, is the earth with flat altitude. That means it is not a mountain anymore. Mauna Kea still retains a climbing altitude below the sea, just like a mountain shape.
Fake I'm from Hawaii so I know I saw Mauna key with my own eyes and I went to Nepal and saw Everest from Everest base camp it's not bigger trust me it's the biggest mountain it the world
Biggest? Tallest? Highest? Make up your mind, Debunked. They mean different things. Everest is the HIGHEST above sea level. Mauna Kea is the TALLEST.
😊🤔 Really cool, concise, and colorful 👍🏾🤙🏾
Ok, so what do we need to remember now ? Yeah, Everest is the highest point on Earth .
Nope its the chimborazo
