Answer:

Mount Everest is called the world's highest mountain because it has the "highest elevation above sea level." We could also say that it has the "highest altitude." The peak of Mount Everest is 8,848 meters (29,029 feet) above sea level. ... This makes Mount Everest the "tallest" mountain in the world.
