K2 holds the position as the second highest mountain.  In the Karakoram range between Pakistan and China, it is   28,250 feet high (8,611 meters.)  K2's name comes from the letter K in Karakoram and the 2 indicating it was the second peak in the region to be measured.  \n\nK2 was called Dapsang by locals, and it is also known as Godwin-Austen after the English topographer Henry Godwin-Austen who explored and surveyed the region.\n\nKangchenjunga on the Nepal/India border is the third highest mountain in the world.  It is in the Himalayas and is 28,169 feet (8,586 meters) high.

Mount Everest\n\nIt is one of the seven wonders of the natural world. Not surprisingly the highest point on the earth's surface is located there on the border of Nepal and China. Although the exact height of the mountain have been disputed by surveyors for many years the most recent measurement revealed the mountain to stand at 8850 meters, nearly 5.5 miles. The adventure that led to this result took place in May 1999. Bill Crouse and his crew set an expedition to find the height of this point. Six months later they returned and claimed to have found the exact measurement of the highest point on earth's surface.\nMount Everest is the highest peak in the Himalayan mountain range. People were unaware that it was the tallest mountain in the world until 1856. George Everest of India made the discovery. Plate tectonics show that the height of Everest is still increasing at a steady rate of approximately one centimeter (0.394 inch) per year.\n\nMount Everest is over 8000 m above sea level. Winds travel at 161 kilometers per hour; the windchill is often 96 degrees Celsius below zero. At such high altitudes as Everest, less oxygen is able to enter the lungs, making it difficult to breathe. The amount of oxygen usable for breathing is determined by pressure in the atmosphere. The greater the atmospheric pressure the closer the oxygen molecules. At high altitudes, atmospheric pressure decreases, and air molecules are further separated. Therefore there is less oxygen that is able to enter the lungs.\n\nThough most people have recognized the highest point at Mount Everest, Mount Chimborazo located in the city of Rimobamba, Ecuador may also be considered as the highest point on earth. Although it is not as well known as Mount Everest, standing at 6310 meters it is also quite remarkable. Mount Chimborazo can be regarded as the highest point on earth because the planet is widest at the equator. The summit of Mount Chimborazo is then 3219 m further from the center of the earth than Mount Everest, making it what some consider the highest point. On the summit of Mount Chimborazo people will weigh less than any other location on earth.\n\nAs the highest point on the earth's surface, Everest has become the ultimate challenge for any determined high altitude climber. A group led by George Mallory first attempted it in 1921, however the summit was not reached until 1953 when Sir Edmand Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay of New Zealand survived the challenging task. Edward Whymper of Britain was the first man to successfully reach the summit of Mount Chimborazo in 1880.\n\nOne of the highest places you can take your car is to Ojos del Salado in Chile. This is the world's tallest volcano at about 22,560 feet. If you live in the U.S. and want some place closer to home, try Colorado. It's many tall moutain peaks make for good high altitude driving.\n\n"And then there’s the Volkswagen exec, who stands up and announces that his company now holds the world record for highest altitude attained by a stock vehicle. Rainer Zietlow, some guy who claims he’s attained fame by taking stock vehicles to extremely high altitudes, piloted a stock Toureg with the base 3.2L V6 to the peak of Chiles Ojos del Salado, the worlds tallest volcano. Guiness marks the record altitude at 19,950 feet. Perhaps VW should tag its Toureg with the title of “Best Luxury SUV above sea-level”."\n\nThe other claim to the highest road (therefore the highest place accesible by car) on Earth is the Manali-Leh route (300 miles) just north of Lahore in the Indian Himalayan mountains.\n\nIt crosses four high passes which range in height from 14,000 to 18,000 feet.\n\nAt Leh, the Khardung La, claims to be the highest point.\n\nThe link below is to a very old army map showing some of the route.\nhttp://www.myhimalayas.com

yep, the others have it right, Mt Everest, at 29,028 feet (not gonna covert to meters, I just don't feel like it) on the border of Tibet and Nepal, is the highest point on Earth.

Mount McKinley is the highest point in North America at 6194 meters (20,320 feet) elevation.  Mount McKinley is located in Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska.  Denali is the native name for the mountain.\n\nMount McKinley is reputed to have the most severe weather of any mountain on Earth.

Kilimanjaro (kĭl'ĭmənjä'rō) , highest mountain of Africa, NE Tanzania. An extinct volcano, it rises in two peaks, Uhuru (Kibo) (19,340 ft/5,895 m, Africa's highest point) and Mawenzi (17,564 ft/5,354 m), which are joined by a broad saddle (alt. c.15,000 ft/4,600 m). The mountaintop is noted for its snowcap, but the area covered by snow has decreased sharply since the early 1990s. Coffee and plantains are the chief crops raised on Kilimanjaro's intensively cultivated lower southern slopes. Tourism from mountain climbing has become an important source of revenue.

The tallest mountain on the planet is not Mt. Everest, which is only 29 028 ft/8848 m high!  The tallest mountain in the world is actually Mauna Kea, in Hawaii, which is closer to 31 000 ft/\n9449 m high.\n\nYou just can't see the two-thirds of the mountain that is under water.

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.

There are three basic classifications of mountains. As I understand it, in the UK, the lowest is from 650 to 1000 meters.  So 650 meters is your answer.  However I would think the differential in altitude gain must be rather drastic in slope for it to count.  You can't go to high plains at 1000 m and say the plains are a Mountain.
