To estimate the distance from the top of a mountain to the bottom of the ocean, we need to consider the typical heights of mountains and the average depths of oceans.
- The tallest mountain in the world, Mount Everest, has a height of about 29,029 feet (8,848 meters).
- The average depth of the ocean is around 12,080 feet (3,682 meters), but some areas can be much deeper (like the Mariana Trench, which is about 36,000 feet deep).
Using these numbers, if we consider Mount Everest as the mountain in the picture, the total distance from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the ocean could be roughly calculated as:
Height of Mount Everest (29,029 feet) + Average Ocean Depth (12,080 feet) = Approximately 41,109 feet.
Therefore, a rough estimate from the top of a tall mountain (like Everest) to the bottom of the ocean nearby could be around 41,000 feet.
