Mt Everest is just under 5.5miles high. Olympus Mons on Mars is 16 miles high. Why aren’t there much larger mountains on Earth? What’s the highest a mountain can go on Earth?

Similar to jelly – you can fill a jelly mould that’s huge and deep, and tip it out. But it will collapse under its own weight and spread out to a certain level….you could add more jelly on top, but it will just do the same thing and push down and spread outwards.
Same with mountains…only less jelly, more rock.
