You can't see them, but there are many more mountains under the water than there are above the water. There are also valleys--called trenches--that are the very deepest parts of the ocean.
Many of these mountains and trenches are taller and deeper than anything on the land.
The tallest mountain on the planet is not Mt. Everest, which is only 29 028 ft/8848 m high! The tallest mountain in the world is actually Mauna Kea, in Hawaii, which is closer to 31 000 ft/
9449 m high.
You just can't see the two-thirds of the mountain that is under water.

It depends on how you measure it. The tallest mountain in the world measured from sea level is Mt. Everest at 29,028 feet. The tallest measured from the center of the Earth is Chimborazo in the Andes at 20,561. The tallest measured from the sea floor (base of the mountain to peak) is Mauna Kea in Hawaii at 33,476 with only 13,796 is above sea level.

"Hawaii's Mauna Kea, though, rises an astonishing 33,476 feet (10,203 meters) from the depths of the Pacific Ocean floor. Measuring from base to peak, Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain on earth."

It is not Everest, surprisingly. Everest has the highest peak above sea level, but, measured from its base it is not the tallest. Trouble is I have forgotten the name of the tallest.
