In short, the maximum height that a mountain can reach is difficult to calculate, but many scholars have hypothesised that the maximum height that a mountain on Earth could reach is 15,000 meters above sea level. However, it would take millions and millions of years to reach this, and we won't be lucky enough to admire such a spectacle.
