Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world (when measured from sea paras). Summit ridge marks the border between Nepal and Tibet; peak located in Tibet. In Nepal, this mountain is called Sagarmatha (सगरमाथा, Sanskrit for "Forehead of Heaven") and in Tibetan Chomolangma or Qomolangma ("Mother of the Universe"), pronounced in 珠穆朗玛峰 Tionghoa language (pinyin: Zhūmùlǎngmǎ Feng).
This mountain get their English name from the name of Sir George Everest. This name was given by Sir Andrew Waugh, the surveyor-general-British India, the successor of Everest. Everest is one of the seven peaks in the world.
Radhanath Sikdar, surveyor, and mathematician from Bengal, was the first person to declare as the highest peak of Mount Everest via the calculation trigonometrik in 1852. This calculation is done using a theodolite from a distance of 150 miles away in India. Most Indians believe that these peaks should be named according to Sikdar, not Everest.
This mountain has a height of about 8850 m, although there is variation in terms of size (both Nepalese and Chinese governments have not officially endorsed this measure, is still considered the height of Mount Everest 8848 m of them). Mount Everest was first measured in 1856 has a height of 8839 m, but otherwise as 8840 m (29 002 ft). Additional 0.6 m (2 ft) shows that at the time the correct height of 29 000 feet will be treated as a rounded estimate. General estimates used in the present is 8850 m that is obtained through reading the Global Positioning System (GPS). Himalayan Mountains are still rising due to tectonic plate movement area.
Mount Everest is a mountain whose top reaches the farthest distance from the sea paras. Two other mountains are sometimes also referred to as "the highest mountain in the world" is Mauna Loa in Hawaii, the highest if measured from the base at the bottom of the sea, but only reaches a height of 4170 m above sea paras and Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador, a peak 2150 m higher than the earth's center than Mount Everest, because the Earth's equator mengembung in the region. However, Chimborazo only reaches a height of 6272 m above sea face, so that is not even the highest peak in the Andes.
Basic deepest in the ocean deeper than the height of Everest: the Challenger Deep, located in the Mariana Trench, so if the mountain in the Himalayas to put in it, there are nearly 1.6 km of water covered it.
