This mountain get their English name from the name of Sir George Everest. This name was given by Sir Andrew Waugh, surveyor-general British India, the successor of Everest. The summit of Everest is one of the seven peaks in the world.
Radhanath Sikdar, an interpreter measuring and mathematician from Bengal, was the first to declare Mount Everest as the highest peak in 1852 through trigonometric calculation This calculation was performed using a theodolite from a distance of 150 miles away in India. Most people in India believe that the peak should be named according to Sikdar, not Everest.
This mountain has a height of about 8,850 m; although there are variations in terms of size (both Nepal and the Chinese government has not officially endorse this measure, the height of Mount Everest at 8,848 m is still regarded by them). Mount Everest was first measured in 1856 has a height of 8,839 m, but is expressed as 8,840 m (29,002 ft). Additional 0.6 m (2 ft) shows that at that time the exact height of 29,000 feet will be regarded as estimates that are rounded. Estimates generally used at present is 8,850 m were obtained by reading the Global Positioning System (GPS). Mount Everest is still rising high due to the movement of the tectonic plates of the region.
Mount Everest is the 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, which is the highest when measured from its base on the basis of the high seas, but only reaches a height of 4,170 m above sea paras and Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador, a peak 2,150 m higher than the center of the earth than Mount Everest, because the Earth is inflated in the equatorial region. However, Chimborazo only reaches a height of 6,272 m above sea paras, so that not even the highest peak in the Andes.
Basic deepest oceans deeper than the height of Everest: Challenger Deep, located in the Mariana Trench, is so deep that if the Himalayan mountain placed in it, there are nearly 1.6 miles of water covering it.
