imagine climbing to the peak of Everest only to see this video in your sub box
hahaha
Then u go 😐😐😐
Time to climb this, why know if the person climbed Everest

Vertical distance above the sea: Everest
Distance from Earth's center: Chimborazo
Distance base to peak: Mauna Kea
Distance base to peak outside of the sea: Denali.
Nice and valuable addition.
max last kill
Mountains that reach below sea level.
@max last kill Base of mountain to peak of mountain, but not including any part that is submerged in water. So Mt. Kea's total size is bigger than Mt. Denali's, but when we only look on land and try to find the "tallest" mountain in the land context, Mt. Denali is the tallest from its base.
man this was the question i really had after watching the video. was about to google it lol
And the tallest lonely mountain: Ayers Rock or mount Fiji in Japan(can’t remember which one)
“Tall and high have very different meanings”

tru! XD
Are you talking bout Mauna Kea?
thing is, Everest isn’t even the most threatening mountain to climb.
There’s mountains that still haven’t been summitted
@Austin Martín Hernández And that's not to mentioned the K2 mountain which is more dangerous and Mount Everest can ever be.
Harvey Beaver k2 is basically Longs peak but the climbing is 19001048521939x more difficult with 19499391919357473x risk of dying and not to mention the weather lol. K2 makes Everest look like a staircase
Say that to the 300 people who died trying. Oh too late.
@@hedone13x just because more people died attempting to climb one mountain doesnt neccesarily make it deadlier, you need to look at the percentage.
"From base to tip, it's actually a whopping 10,200 meters tall."
Gentlemen, I think I found my new pick-up line.
That sounds really wrong for some reason
its sad that i immediately thought about the dirty one, i need to cut it out
@@reggiejackson1132 yes me to
You mean that’s the tip
Funny normie
RLL: * simple question *
Me: Come on just tell me where is the technicality
Mount Everest
Mount Everest is the tallest mountain when measured from sea level. Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain when measured from base (since most of it is submerged.) Mount Chimborazo is the tallest mountain when measured from the center of the Earth (It is located on the equator, where the land is slightly elevated.)
Tao Tao Liu I love you
Kea is an extinct volcano
@@taotaoliu2229 bless you
Similarly to Chimborazo being the farthest from Earth's center, it's also true that the floor of the Arctic Ocean is closer to Earth's center than the Marianas Trench.
Everest: It’s over Mauna Kea, I have the high ground
Mauna Kea: You underestimate my power
haha prequel meme! laughed.
@@disco8301 *drops down* Mt. Chimborazo: “Hello there!”

Rheasilvia: *”laughs in Sith Lord”*
How this guy know mauna kea underwater portion is exactly same as everest (8488ft 🤣)58%.like if u remove water from world Himalayas will tallest&highest 🤣
Tallest mountain if measure from sea level : Mount Everest
Tallest mountain if measure from base to top : Mauna Kea
Tallest mountain if measure from center of the Earth : Chimborazo
it just that simple, but geologist usually stick with "Sea Level" as standard of measurement.
Yea I was thinking the same and decided to not to watch the video but still I watched ...
imagine needing 8mn to say this
@@SilverSea27 imagine typing a comment
@@walterbrunswick imagine replying to a comment
@@dafeels3085 imagine replying to a reply to a comment
also everest from base to summit is about 4400m, measured in this way there are mountains taller than Mount Everest.
zabuza chan like what ones I’m curious
Ryan McDonald Denali is one
а вдруг патроноконда c: he talks about that mountain on the video and he says it’s 58% underwater
That depends if you define height as distance from base to summit or are normal and define it as vertical distance to sea level. Personally, I'm normal so view Everest as the tallest
There are even mountains with a base to peak height above sea level that are taller than Mount Everest such as Denali in Alaska, Kilimanjaro in Africa, and even Nanga Parbat in the Himalayas.
I'm surprised you never mentioned Denali. I imagine the incredible water pressure at Mauna Kea's base is what allows it to be so tall without crumbling under it's own weight. So it's got a bit of an unfair advantage.
Is there any proof behind this
Saying Mauna Kea is technically taller than Everest is like arguing about whether the glass is half empty or half full
Not really. Everest is definitely higher than Mauna Kea, but Mauna Kea is the taller mountain measured from base to peak. Therefore, saying Mauna Kea is taller than Everest is more like saying that a 3/4 full glass of water has more water than a 1/2 full glass.

everytime he says "actually", take a shot.
now i'm spoilt
Your liver is gone

GAGAGAGAGAGAGA I just saw something very unpretty! I looked in the mirror! GAGAGAGAGAGAGA!! But I am the cool TH-camr with two hazardously hot girlfriends so IT is all good! Thanks for you attention dear name
It is still the tallest mountain...
endreask only above sea level, both Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa are much taller if you’re going by overall height
It is the tallest mountain though
@@jakealter5504 true
I live in Ecuador and i remember my teacher telling us how Chimborazo was indeed higher than the Everest.
Sometimes im proud of living here.
Same amigo
Another thing to consider is that the base of Everest is well above sea level (about 4,700 meters), giving it a base-to-peak height of only around 4,000 meters. In comparison, Denali in Alaska has a base-to-peak height of 5,600 meters (elevation 6,190 meters, base elevation about 600 meters).
Of course Everest can’t be the highest, the highest you can do is 256 blocks and not 8km long
LMAO
Yes, Everest is built by a man who glitched the height limit.
Or 148 blocks if you're playing on Pocket Edition.
@@thejumboshrimp 128
But with some mods (that are for example used in the project which is building the earth in Minecraft), you can achieve an infinite height limit
I have the high ground!
-Mount Chimborazo
From a climbing perspective Mt. Denali is 4500 meters from base camp to summit while Mt. Everest is only 3348 meters from base camp to summit. Therefore, standing at basecamp, Mt. Denali would appear to be over 1000 meters taller
Love the effort this guy puts into his videos. One of the best channels on TH-cam.
He have less information , remove water 🤣
If this guy was my teacher I would love school

Honestly I've learned more from this channel than I ever did in highschool.
That certainly makes sense since we aren’t usually able to fully concentrate in high school because either we are anxious of succeeding or other students are acting rowdy.
RLL: Ecuador
Me: *250,000 goat war flashbacks*

Can u explain?
Oh yeah. This is useful to know if I ever want to climb underwater. Or through the Earth's mantle.
Damn😆😆
Mauna Kea isn’t the only peak on it’s island, plus there’s several other islands that form a clear elevated about the sea flood chain with it. If we’re allowed to count it’s height from sea floor level to peak when it’s part of a larger landmass, then Everest should get the same treatment and get the height of Eurasia’s elevation above the sea floor added to it.
Everest : I'm the tallest mountain
Mauna Kea : Hold my volcano
Olympus Mons: bunch of amateurs
@@RichKilla86ers that mountain better not come to Earth anytime soon or we in trouble
😂
Olympus mons is bigger than France
octopus_127 it’s almost the same size as Utah in the US.
Mauna Kea is actually so massive that it depresses the earth's crust around it by around 2 kilometers.
Then go and remove the water from the ocean. If you can't then accept that Mt Everest is tall.
@@rushikeshpatil9636when did he say that lol
I was waiting impatiently for Mauna Kea to get mentioned through the whole video. Thank you!
This is true. At the summit of mt. Chimborazo (actually a strato volcano), there's waaaay less oxigen than at the summit of the Everest, since Chimborazo is the highest point on earth, from the core up. This is why many places in Ecuador feel reeeeally high, because of the earth's bulges, the percentage of oxigen in those areas is way smaller
Is that true? I'd have assumed that the atmosphere and oceans bulge in the same way as the geometry of the rest of the Earth, and as such, air pressure and density would still be consistent with altitude.
It is true
@@rohitchaoji you are right, there is much less oxygen on everest
rubbish
I know , It's Toyota Corolla .
Always has been
Hey
Fun fact: because Chimborazo is the furthest away from Earth's center, then it also furthest from all the rest of Earth's mass. As a result of this, the weakest gravity on Earth can be found on Chimborazo as well.
Let's go there when we are using a scale
If I remember correctly, Denali in Alaska has a higher vertical elevation gain than Eveeest does (from 'ground level' to the summit) 😊 (need to double-check that but pretty sure it is) -- This was a good video and really liked how it was properly besided on the earth's slightly elliptical shape. Great teaching, especially with motivating people to get into science,, question common knowledge, get people interested in science and other topics and researching things after watching these videos. Great and fun stuff!
So does Kilimanjaro.
Officially, you're one of my favorite TH-camrs out here!
I saw a documentary about this and it said that if you were to be able to expand a billiard ball to the size of Earth, it would be rougher in texture than Earth, having much higher mountains and deeper valleys.
Holy shit
didn't know earth was that smooth.
@@sociopathicassassin2629 I remember that when I learned that fact it blew my mind.
So to make his answer short: Mount Everest is the highest point from the surface of earth and Chimborazo is the highest point from the center of earth.
Not the surface but sea-level. Mount mauna kea is the highest point from earth's surface according to RLL.
That applies for mt Everest too its not from sea bed level but from sea level so the additional height should also be provided to mt Everest
@@abdulle1150 Mauna Kea is by no means the highest point. It is taller than Everest, but its base is much lower so it doesn't get as high.
@@akashpanthi2917 none of Everest is below sea level though unless you count all of Eurasia as mt Everest. Mauna kea is mostly below sea level however
Abdullahy mohammed Not really, it holds no record for highest point but it is the tallest mountain from base to peak in the world.
The music on this video had me jamming!
With this video in mind, can we technically rewrite the science books that state Mt Everest is the "highest place on earth"?
That would be wherever Snoop Dogg is
Is Mt. Everest the highest place on Earth?
*_Yesn't_*
Definitely not absolutely never yes
Hehehe😂😂
Carzey not no
@@taotaoliu2229 don't deteriorate the international rules of measurement. Likewise from centre it is such a big measurement that there can be errors. Afterall its 6400km
"Well yes, but actually no"
Many years in the future there will definitely be higher mountains caused by plate movements.
No shit Sherlock
No shit
Yeah
Shit-Sherlock-no.
Many years in the future, people will be born and people will die.
I like how whenever someone not from Hawaii pronounces "Mauna" wrong. You, RealLifeLore, are the closest youtuber that I have found that isn't from Hawaii that pronounces it the closest to its actual pronunciation. (P.S Mauna is pronounced "Mau-nah")

The same can be said for MT Kilimanjaro which is actually the tallest freestanding mountain on land and you can see it bottom to top in one view.
Mount Everest is also about 6 time deeper than it is tall.
the more you know

I watched this right after Real Engineering's one about standard v. Imperial/US units. It's a relief that this vid is in metres. I wish Google Home wouldn't crap on about feet, especially when I'm an Australian in the Netherlands asking about a Chilean mountain! Well done, Real-Life Lore!
(And yes, the Hawai‘ian one should be in metres as well. Even though the US has annexed Hawai‘i, that mountain is a scientific base, so it wouldn't be using legacy units either.)
Can you do a video on panda conservation controversy and “pandanomics”, i.e, reasons pandas are an evolutionary dead-end, controversy surrounding spending so many resources conserving them, and economic and social reasons countries put so much time, effort, and money into them?

Do a video on the perfect sphere someone made in a lab where if it was earth-sized, the highest and lowest points would only be 30m apart.

How do you define the base of a mountain? I agree with Chimborazo being the highest mountain measuring from earth's centre, but Everest will still be higher than Mauna Kea depending on how you define the base of a mountain
At 6:01 you compare the height of Mauna Kea measured from base to peak with the height of Everest measured from sea level.
Decent video. Thanks for uploading!

@@snowgolemssb and? aaandddd??
of course because viewers can expect the entire "if we define highest by distance from the center of the Earth" by a non specific word: "sorta" alright buddy whatever you say.
@@snowgolemssb ok mister genius, i bet before you clicked the video you automatically expected that they'd be measuring from the centre of the earth, oh actually you probably didn't even watch the video, you just know everything due to your vast intellect and infinite wisdom.
Except that your “fixed” title dissuades people from wanting to watch by explaining the argument that challenges this long held belief before they watch the video and is long enough to where it starts failing to catch people’s attention. In essence it kinda defeats the whole purpose of a video title which is, above all else to hook potential viewers.
@@snowgolemssb the joke went over your head chill down, have some tea and take a rest.
1:57
And here's where you're wrong
Centrifugal force doesn't exist. It's inertia.
It's also important to say that the air in Mount Everest is thinner than it is in any of the mountains mentioned in the video. So, if you take gravity in consideration, and how it affects the atmosphere, Everest indeed has the highest altitude, because it's the furthest you can go from gravity while still on Earth.
6:14 I feel so bad for Everest. 😥
