14. What mountain is closer to space? K2 Chimborazo Everest Denali *Not a real photo

Trivia…. Mount Everest is the tallest mountain on Earth, so it would stand to reason that the top of the mountain would be the highest point on Earth (and therefore closest to space). But when you remember that Earth is slightly oval-shaped, things get interesting. Our planet is slightly inflated around the equator, meaning countries like Ecuador and Kenya have a bit of an edge. With this added elevation, the top of Ecuador’s Mount Chimborazo (which is only 20,564 feet tall) is closest to the stars. Next

15. The presence of landmines is a threat to lives and economic development. Geospatial technology is crucial for detecting and mapping landmines. What other ’tools’ are used to detect landmines? (select one)
