how many mountains are there on earth?

Question

i know Mountains cover 54% of Asia, 36% of North America, 25% of Europe, 22% of South America, 17% of Australia, and 3% of Africa. As a whole, 24% of the Earth's land mass is mountainous. BUT I NEED THE NUMBER

Answer 1

24% of Earth's surface

Earth's surface is approximately 196,937,400 square miles

so 24% of that is
47,264,976 square miles <------ that's how many miles of mountain there's approximately

ok......
mountains are on average 86.5 square miles so...

according to my calculations

There are about 546,416 mountains

Answer 2

There are even mountains under the worlds oceans that are higher than Everest.....

Under The Pacific Ocean
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.

Answer 3

Jeez. What is a mountain?

For instance the block that contains Everest has about another few peaks on it. Very few mountains are "stand alone". Most are peaks that arise out of a block or range of mountains.

If you mean "how many peaks", I would think that nobody has counted them.

Answer 4

Definitely over 100

Answer 5

TOO MUCH TO COUNT
