Order the mountains
Arrange the mountains in order on the line by their elevation above sea level. If you need help, use the 'Clues' button that will give you their heights.
Discussion points
- What is the difference between elevation and height?
- What would happen to the order of the mountains if, instead of measuring elevation, you measured the increase of height from base to peak?
- Mount Everest is the tallest mountain on Earth by elevation, but Mauna Kea is the tallest if measured from its base on the ocean floor.
