For all the rest of you folks: Mt. Everest is the highest mountain in the world.  The tallest, from base to summit happens to be Mauna Kea, the highest point in Hawaii, measured from the ocean floor.. It measures 13,796 ft above sea level plus another 16,000 ft below sea level.  That makes it: 29,796 ft total. Remember, the mountain is mostly submerged under the ocean.  Mt. Everest is only measured from sea level at 29.028 ft.

400'?!?!  Not that I have ever heard of.  You saw a PBS special about one?  Was it a prototype or theoretical?  \n\nI think the tallest U.S. platform trucks top out at about 175' (see attached link to article).  There is a European manufacturer, Bronto Skylift, whose tallest unit is about 88 meters (that's not quite 300').  I think that the tallest trucks currently in the world.\n\nCheck the site out, it's pretty impressive stuff!

What type of wave?  In the ocean, a wave height is measured from the lowest point on the "back" side, to the highest point on the wave.  It is not measured "trough" to "crest".

Because tsunamis don't create a large wave in deep water within a large body of water. In the open ocean a tsunami wave may only be one meter tall.  Large waves form when a traveling wave enters shallow water. The wave length of a tsunami wave is extremely long. When the wave approaches a shoreline it meets resistance and as the wavelength shortens the wave height increases.

The largest complete specimen found was 59 feet and 1980 pounds. Scientists have suggested though that they grow up to 350 feet and even 500 feet. These are of course theories and based upon peices of giant squids found in the stomachs of Sperm Whales.

The highest sea cliffs in the world are those on the north coast of east Molokai, near Umilehi Point, Hawaii, USA, which descend 1,010 m. (3,300 ft.) to the sea at an average gradient of more than 1 in 1.428.\n\nthis is from the guiness book of records and hence should be correct and accurate.. here is the link;-\n\nhttp://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/content_pages/record.asp?recordid=47602

Also, the ocean is about 16400 feet deep around the island of Hawaii, so Kilauea is actually over 20,000 feet high (4091 ft + 16,000 ft).
