What is the maximum height a mountain on earth may rise?

0

A mountain cannot rise higher than a certain critical height which on earth is about 90,000 feet. Any greater height would increase the weight of the mountain to the point where its base would start turning into a liquid under such enourmous pressures, thus causing the mountain to sink below the critical height.
