*Mount Everest (8.850 m) (Asia)
Mount Everest (English: Mount Everest) is the highest mountain in the world (if measured from sea level). Peak ridge marks the border between Nepal and Tibet; the peak in Tibet. In Nepal, the mountain is called Sagarmatha (सगरमाथा, Sanskrit for "Forehead of Heaven") and in Tibetan Chomolangma or Qomolangma ("Mother of the Universe"), pronounced in Chinese language 珠穆朗瑪峰 (pinyin: Zhūmùlǎngmǎ Feng).
The mountain is getting his English name from the name of Sir George Everest. This name was given by Sir Andrew Waugh, the surveyor-general of India Englishman, the successor to Everest. The summit of Everest is one of the Seven Major peaks in the world.
Radhanath
Sikdar, surveyor and mathematician of Bengal, was the first to declare
Everest as the highest peaks through trigonometric calculations in 1852.
This calculation is performed using a theodolite from a distance of 150
miles away in India. Most people in India believe that the peak should be named according to Sikdar, not Everest.This mountain has an elevation of about 8,850 m; although
there are variations in terms of size (both the government of Nepal and
China has not officially endorse this measure, the height of Mount
Everest is still considered 8,848 m by them). Mount Everest was first measured in 1856 have a height of 8839 m, but declared as 8,840 m (29 002 ft). An additional 0.6 m (2 ft) shows that at that time the exact altitude of 29,000 feet will be regarded as approximate rounded. Common estimates used at this point is 8,850 m obtained by reading the Global Positioning System (GPS). Mount Everest is still rising high due to the movement of tectonic plates that area.Mount Everest is the mountain whose peak reaches the farthest distance from the sea level. Two
other mountains are sometimes also referred to as "the highest mountain
in the world" is Mauna Loa in Hawaii, which is the highest when
measured from its base at the bottom of the sea, but only reached an
altitude of 4,170 m above sea level and Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador,
which top 2,150 m higher than Earth's center than Mount Everest, because the Earth bulging at the equator region. However, Chimborazo only reached an altitude of 6,272 m above sea level, so it is not even the highest peaks in the Andes.However, Chimborazo only reached an altitude of 6,272 m above sea level, so it is not even the highest peaks in the Andes.Basic
deepest oceans deeper than the height of Everest: Challenger Deep,
located in the Mariana Trench, is so deep that if Himalayan placed in
it, there are nearly 1.6 km of water covering it.
This is the Highest mountain in the world
