Why Everest Isn't Earth’s Highest Mountain... sorta

Everest is the highest, only nerds and virgins would argue about it

You are conflating the words "Tallest" and "highest".
Tallest is defined as the distance from the bottom of something to that things top.
Highest is determined by the distance from some set reference point.

Bro forgot Denali.

Everest is a 15,000 foot high pile of granite that is sitting on top of a 14,000 foot high plain, yet is somehow 29,000 ft tall/high/etc. Likewise, I suppose I could put a penny on top of a telephone pole and claim that the penny is 40 foot high while conveniently obfuscating the fact that there is a 40 ft tall telephone pole holding it up! lol
Everest is a HUGE benefactor of wobbly definitions and abstract points of reference. Only the top half of Everest is real, the bottom half is just a pile of scientific gymnastics. Funny thing, when you 'summit' Everest you only climbed up 15,000 ft. lol
Now Go stand next to Mt. Denali, its an 18,000 ft high pile of granite which doesn't need to be artificially exalted via scientific apologetics. Its actually there! Finding the base of a mountain doesnt require a shovel.

Mount Everest sucks

Everest is not the tallest mountain but is the highest peak. THAT IS A FACT

Heres how to ask
Is mount everest the highest mountain?
No its mount chimborazo
Is mount everest the tallest mountain?
No its mauna kea
Is mount everest the most prominent mountain?
No its mount denali
Is mount everest the tallest looking mountain?
Yes, yes it is

i think mauna kea is also the most voluminous

There are exoplanets out there that make these mountains look like small hills

You said Mauna Kea the wrong way the u is not pronounced as a long vowel.

I think Japan should be a continent, Change my mind

But the earth is flat

To me I think measuring a mountain's height from sea level is stupid, it should be measured from its base so it's more directly & physically comparable to other on-land mountains.

From base to top ,mana loa in the Hawaian Islands is the "tallest ".

Lol to all the rich fucks that climbed everest thinking they were at the highest point on earth 😂😂😂

Looks like he is measuring the distance more than the height ...

Chimborazo... my beloved

Itz nice to knw how much w3 reallly been lied2….& they st!ll rather accept the story-tellz…..Beautiful mountainz N Afr!ca ! see, s0 Everest isn’t the highest mountain yallz, s0 re-wr!te yur bookz& reshockk yur bra!n wit factz

BIG BRAIN!

Fun fact,
In 1 of his space vids, I Saw a Toyota Corolla Floating

That's how they lie us at school that everest is the highest mountain

Very nice video

The Tallest Mountain In The Solar System Is Not Located On Earth. But Its Our Cold Neighbor Planet Mars And The Tallest Mountain Ever Is Olympus Mons

Tallest Mountain In The Solar System:
Olympus Mons

Tallest Mountain Above Sea Level:
Mount Everest

Tallest Mountain In Earth:
Mauna Kea

song name?

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

no one cares (that was rude)

Everyhting is a mountain if you're at the bottom of the Mariana trench

Mauna Kea, Oceania. Underwater and cannot climb, Mount Everest and land-based.

Next topic: why India is rules all over the World

This question gets murkier, or even clearer, when you realize the same logic means sea level isn't identical across the globe; so whats the "correct" measurement to use? Seems to me you've got to start at a benchmark that is consistent for any measurement. That means Chimborazo reigns.

People who are watching this video please don't listen to this guy he's a lier and mount everest is the highest mountain in the world saying that mount Chimborazo is higher than mount everest well it's fake

Been on the tallest mountain.

Chimborazo isn’t the tallest, lol it does not matter by the equator, it just matters how tall it is because Everest is twice as tall as it in general.

My Everest had to fight formidable gravity to rise to where it stands today. Unreal. But it’s like that rich guy everybody loves to hate.

bro if that mountain wasnt blackened out in the thumbnail i couldve just reconized it, as everyone remembers what every mountain looks like from every angle.

the earth is an oval but in the video they exaggerate it by a lot

This is video is like when your friend is wrong and when you point it out to him, he makes these types of arguments

Rheasilvia Central peak is 22.000 kilometers

mauna kea is not taller than Rheasilvia central peak

actually Rheasilvia Central Peak is the tallest mountain is even taller than all the mountains but it can be only found in the planet vesta

Strong dislike for this video. It’d be nice if you also used inches, feet, and miles when describing measurements.

I guess mountlakie is the biggest mount

Pikes peak be like well I’ve had my time before they found mount everst

Im from Ecuador and y have gone to CHIMBORAZO is really cool and y live in Guayaquil!
