What is the tallest mountain in Ecuador?
I think Chimborazo, at 6,268 meters, is the highest mountain in Ecuador, unless there is one that drops into the ocean, and measured from its ocean floor base is technically ‘taller’. Chimborazo is also the point furthest from the center of the Earth (since the Earth is wider at the equator). So by that measure, the peak of Chimborazo is the ‘highest’ point on the planet. Mt Everest is the highest above sea level, Mauna Lea is the ‘tallest’ (from base in the ocean floor).
