Earth isn't a perfect sphere: its spin makes it bulge at the equator, where the radius is about 21 km greater than at the poles. Chimborazo, a volcano sitting almost on the equator, rises to “only” about 6,260 m above sea level. Yet its summit is roughly 2 km farther from Earth's center than Everest's.
On 27 August 1883, the eruption of the Indonesian volcano Krakatoa was heard as far away as Rodrigues Island, nearly 4,800 km away. Its pressure wave was picked up by barometers worldwide and circled the globe several times. The tsunamis that followed killed more than 36,000 people.
The deepest known point in the ocean, Challenger Deep, lies roughly 10,900 m below the Pacific surface. Drop Everest in and its summit would still sit about 2 km underwater. Down there, the pressure is more than 1,000 times what you feel at sea level, roughly a tonne pressing on every square centimetre.
