Answer 2

Answer:

is a large stratovolcano composed of three distinct volcanic cones: Kibo, the highest; Mawenzi at 5,149 metres (16,893 ft);[9] and Shira, the lowest at 4,005 metres (13,140 ft).[10] Mawenzi and Shira are extinct, while Kibo is dormant and could erupt again.[11]

Uhuru Peak is the highest summit on Kibo's crater rim. The Tanzania National Parks Authority, a Tanzanian government agency,[2] and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization[3] lists the height of Uhuru Peak as 5,895 m (19,341 ft), based on a British survey in 1952.[12] The height has since been measured as 5,892 metres (19,331 ft) in 1999, 5,902 metres (19,364 ft) in 2008, and 5,899 metres (19,354 ft) in 2014.[12]
