Answer 3

In terms of highest altitude:

* Everest (8,848 m), Nepal-Tibet (China), Asia * K2 (8,611 m), Pakistan-Xinjiang (China), Asia * Kangchenjunga (8,586 m), Nepal-Sikkim (India), Asia * Lhotse (8,511 m), Nepal-Tibet (China), Asia * Makalu (8,463 m), Nepal-Tibet (China), Asia * Cho Oyu (8,201 m), Nepal-Tibet (China), Asia * Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Nepal, Asia * Manaslu (8,163 m), Nepal, Asia * Nanga Parbat (8,125 m), Pakistan, Asia * Annapurna (8,091 m), Nepal, Asia but probably a better answer for "largest" would be in terms of "relief" or how tall are they from base to summit. It's what makes you go "wow, that's a tall mountain"

I have never found a list of these in order, though either Mauna Kea in Hawaii (if you count the part underwater) or Mt. Denali if you consider base on land only, are considered the "tallest" mountains on earth. I believe Mauna Loa in Hawaii is considered to have the largest volume of any mountain.

Answer 4

K2 is the secondhighest mountain in the world. At 8611 metres, it takes second place next only to Mount Everest which is 8,848 meters high or 29,029 ft. above sea level.

Mount Everest is the highest, then K2, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse , Makalu, Cho Oyu, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Nanga Parbat and then Annapurna. These are all foreign, so many may be hard to pronounce.
