6 439 206 320. It took some time, but I think that's all of them. It might be 6 439 206 321, it depends whether you consider Mt Shkuhbaa to be a real mountain.

A mountain is an elevation in the earth's surface. The elevation, or altitude, of a mountain is given as the height of the summit above sea level. Mountains are much bigger than hills. Most of the time they are made up elongated ranges. It is rare when a mountain stands alone.\n\nWhat is the difference between tallest and highest? Tallest: the top is the furthest away from the base. Highest: the top is the furthest away from sea level. There are three ways of measuring the height of a mountain. So which mountain is the tallest? One way to measure a mountain is by measuring from sea level. The second way is by measuring from base to peak. The third way is by measuring the distance from the center of the earth to the peak of the mountain.\n\nMt. Everest, on the Nepal-Tibet border in the Himalayas, is the highest mountain on earth. It is about 8,850 meters above sea level. height was confirmed in December 1983 during a surveillance mission by the space shuttle Columbia. Mauna Kea, or "White Mountain"a volcano of the "Big Island" of Hawaii, is the tallest mountain on earth. It measure about 10,200 meters from base to summit. Chimborazo is a volcano in the Andes of Ecuador. It measures about 6,310 meters above sea level. When height is measured from the center of the earth, Chimborazo is tallest since it is located nearly on the equator, where the earth bulges the most.

The continents are the great land masses of the earth. There are seven continents on Earth now: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. \nThere are seven continents on Earth now. \nAsia and Europe are not separate land masses. They are divided by the Ural Mountains. \n\nThere are no countries in Antarctica. The U.S. and many other countries operate science stations there, but no nation owns the land. \n\nSee maps and much more in\nhttp://www.enchantedlearning.com/geography/continents/

What type of mountains? The largest mountain chain in the world is the mid-oceanic ridge and it is created by upwelling mantle. Other types of mountains are created by the subduction of basalt under continental crust (e.g. the Andes Mountains). Still other types of mountains are created by continent-continent collision (e.g. the Alps). Still other types of mountains are created by hot spot vulcanism (e.g. The Hawaii Islands). Other types of mountains are created by trans-pression (e.g. The Coast Ranges of California). Be more specific as to which type of mountains you refer.

Just to name a few...\n\nAlps, Himalayas, Rockies\n\nFor more info: http://www.peakware.com/areas.html\n\nAlthough the above link has ALL the ranges (a bit overwhelming) my suggestion, for your homework, is to find the high points of each continent and list that range. Those are likely the 'most important'.\n\nTo get you started:\nEurope: Mont Blanc (or Monte Bianco) (Actually, Russia may have a higher mountain technically in Europe)\nAsia: Mt. Everest\nNorth America: Mt. McKinnley (Denali)\nSouth America: Aconcaqua (SP?) in Argentina\nAfrica: ???\nAustralia: ???\nAntartica: ???
