How Tall Is It?

The World Almanac is a delightful resource for finding the tallest, the longest, the deepest geographic feature!

"The World Almanacs, first published in 1868, is a reference database that covers arts and entertainment, U.S. cities and states, people in the news, the nations of the world, sports, the environment, vital statistics, science and technology, computers, taxes and much more.
The database is made up of:
The World Almanac and Book of Facts
The World Almanac of the U.S.A.
The World Almanac of U.S. Politics
The World Almanac for Kids
The World Almanac Knowledge Source


The default search on the Basic Search screen searches all 5 of the almanacs. If you wish to search them individually, go to the Advanced or Expert Search screens. Use the "Limit to" pull-down menu to restrict your search to only one the almanacs listed above. "
