The summit of Mount Everest is higher above sea level than the summit of any other mountain, but Mauna Kea is the tallest when measured from base to summit. When measuring mountain summits by their height above sea level, Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world.

@hupzpacchu "  Interesting question!  However, it doesn't belong within "OpenStudy Feedback, does it?  Did you know that you could use "highest mountain on earth" as a search term on Google, and that Google will most likely respond with the answer to that question?
