Measured from its base, the tallest would be Mauna Kea in Hawaii, which like the adjacent Mauna Loa has a deep seafloor base on the Hawaiian hotspot.
However the volcano Llullaillaco is the highest active volcano above sea level. It is an Andean stratovolcano on the border of Argentina and Chile. It was active as late as 1877. It is located about 200 km (120 miles) north of the "highest volcano", Ojos de Salado.
Nevado Ojos del Salado ("snow-covered salty eyes") is a stratovolcano in the Andes mountains, about 600 km (370 miles) north of Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the Americas. Ojos de Salado is 6893 meters (22,615 ft) in height. However, it has not been active since approximately 700 AD.
No, there are no active volcanoes in Iraq. The country has a relatively low seismic activity and is not located on a tectonic plate boundary where volcanoes are typically found.
I realy don't know, but it would definitely be a relatively recent and young volcanic mountain, that is still in its early and highly eruptive stage.

Are there any volcanoes or earthquakes in Iraq?
Iraq experiences earthquakes but does not have any volcanoes.
Why are there volcanoes in Italy and Japan but not in Iraq?
Volcanoes form when tectonic plates shift and create weak spots in the Earth's crust, allowing magma to rise to the surface. Italy and Japan are located along tectonic plate boundaries where this activity occurs, while Iraq is not located on any active plate boundary. This is why Italy and Japan have volcanoes while Iraq does not.
What 2 types of volcanoes are there?
There are three. From smallest to largest, they are: Cinder Cones, Composite Volcanoes (also called Strata Volcanoes), and then Shield Volcanoes.
Are there any kind of volcanos?
There are three different types of volcanoes. The types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, dome volcanoes, and also composite volcanoes.
What are three types of volcanoes?
Three types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes (composite volcanoes), and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have gentle slopes and are formed by low-viscosity lava, while stratovolcanoes are characterized by alternating layers of lava and ash. Cinder cone volcanoes are small, steep-sided volcanoes formed by pyroclastic material ejected during eruptions.

What type of vocanoes are there?
There are four main types of volcanoes: shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, stratovolcanoes (composite volcanoes), and calderas. Each type has distinct characteristics based on their eruption style, shape, and composition.
What is the difference between Compare volcanoes that form on land with volcanoes that form in the ocean.?
Land Volcanoes eat lamas and underwater volcanoes eat camals
Who is in charge of Iraq?
The Government of the Republic of Iraq is in charge of Iraq.
