Explanation:
[STC001877] One thing that all twenty of the world’s highest volcanoes have in common is that they can all be found in South America. This is measured by the peak elevation of the volcano. To be more specific, they may be discovered in the Andes highlands in South America, which are located along the Ring of Fire. According to the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution, Nevados Ojos del Salado, located in Chile and Argentina, is the tallest of them all, reaching an elevation of more than 7,500 meters (more than 22,500 ft) above sea level. Llullaillaco comes in at number two on the list, which only contains volcanoes that have erupted within the last 10,000 years or so and has an elevation of 22,110 feet above sea level. Please take note that “highest” may not always equal “tallest.” It is claimed that Hawaii’s Mauna Kea is the tallest peak in the world when measured from the base of the volcano to the summit of the peak. Mauna Kea has an elevation of less than 14,000 feet above sea level, but it extends an estimated 19,700 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean.
