Since the peak of the volcano is the highest point in Hawaii, the summit has become a global center for the study of astronomy and is home to the worlds largest observatory, with 13 telescopes operated by astronomers from eleven different countries. It is all about the change in the reference point (aka a datum) for measuring the height of any point on the earth. World Heritage Sites. Hawaiis Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain on earth, with a height of over 30,000 feet from its baseon the floor of the Pacific Oceanto its peak. If we measure from the base of the volcano on the ocean floor to the summit of the volcano, Mauna Kea is over 33,000 feet tall. 10. That honor belongs to Mauna Kea, a volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. Hawaiis Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain on earth, with a height of over 30,000 feet from its baseon the floor of the Pacific Oceanto its peak. As maps get Mauna Kea (/ m a n k e /; Hawaiian: [mwn kj]) is a dormant volcano on the island of Hawaii.Its peak is 4,207.3 m (13,803 ft) above sea level, making it the highest point in the state of Hawaii and second-highest peak of an island on Earth. Mauna Kea originates deep beneath the Pacific Ocean, and rises more than 33,500 feet from base to peak. Mauna Kea is actually an inactive volcano on the big island of Hawaii. Mauna Kea is a dormant volcano situated on the island of Hawaii. That honor belongs to Mauna Kea, a volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. Like all the other Hawaiian volcanoes, Mauna Loa was created by the movement of the Pacific tectonic plate which moved over the Hawaii hotspot in the Earth's mantle. PHOTO GALLERIES. If you could measure Mauna Kea from the base of the ocean to its peak, youd get a true height of 10,203 meters (and thats bigger than Mount Everest). While Mount Everest can claim the record for the highest point above sea level, the tallest mountain on earth from the base of the mountain to the peak of the mountain is, in fact, Mauna Kea in Hawaii.Mauna Kea is 33,480 feet (10,204 meters) high from the base (at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean) to peak. Since the peak of the volcano is the highest point in Hawaii, the summit has become a global center for the study of astronomy and is home to the worlds largest observatory, with 13 telescopes operated by astronomers from eleven different countries.

That honor belongs to Mauna Kea, a volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. But when you follow the mountain to its base at the bottom of the Pacific, it's 32,808 feet more than 3,000 feet taller than Everest. Mauna Kea is a dormant volcano situated on the island of Hawaii. Mauna Kea is actually an inactive volcano on the big island of Hawaii. If we measure from the base of the volcano on the ocean floor to the summit of the volcano, Mauna Kea is over 33,000 feet tall. 10. Mauna Kea's summit is at 13,796 feet (4,205 meters) above sea level, but it extends about 19,700 feet (6000 meters) below the water's surface. With 4,205 meters (13,796 feet, 2.6 miles) above sea level, more than half of Mauna Keas height falls below the surface of the ocean, with its base reaching 5,761 meters (18,900 feet, 3.6 miles) deep. NAVD 88 replaced the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29), previously known as the Sea Level Datum of 1929. Above the sea, Mauna Kea only stands 13,796 feet in height. Mount Everest vs. Mauna Kea . Mauna Kea Volcano rises 13,796 feet (4,205 meters) above sea level but extends about 19,700 feet (6,000 meters) below sea level to meet the deep ocean floor. Measured from the base, Mauna Kea stands 33,474 feet (10,203 meters) tall, though it only rises 13,796 feet (4,205 meters) above the sea. A 200-m-wide (660 ft) funnel-shaped summit crater typically emits a steam plume and occasional small amounts of ash. Mauna Kea stands 10,203 meters (33,476 feet) high when measured from the ocean floor, but rises only 4,207 meters (13,803 feet) above sea level. That puts the total height of Mauna Kea at about 33,500 feet nearly a mile taller than Everest. Measured from its base 18,000 feet below sea level, it exceeds Mount Everest in height. The summit of Mauna Kea has an elevation of 13,796 feet (4205 meters); however, the base of the volcano is about 19,685 feet (6000 meters) below sea level. Mount Everest may be the tallest mountain above sea level, but when it comes to the tallest mountain on earth, that honor goes to Mauna Kea. This fact is related to another persistent feature of Hawaiis climate, the trade wind inversion (TWI). Measured from its base 18,000 feet below sea level, it exceeds Mount Everest in height. If you could measure Mauna Kea from the base of the ocean to its peak, youd get a true height of 10,203 meters (and thats bigger than Mount Everest).
