That circle encloses two areas. One roughly a square metre, and the other one roughly 5e8 km². In geology only the smaller area is used, and the smaller area does not contain the peak of the Everest and thus is not considered a valid base contour line of the Everest.
- dasil003 8y agoWhy not? You are looking for the lowest contour that can surround everest, at what would would you stop going lower because the countour is getting too big? 50% of the planet's surface? This seems like an arbitrary bound.
