Temporary water mountains don’t count.

Not sure how permanent these are nowadays.

The thickest ice mountain in Antarctica is almost 5km high. I believe it will last for a bit.

Bubba & Jimbo said they can roll enough coal in their lifted Ford F-950 to melt all the glaciers this weekend.

Sounds like a plan!

All mountains are temporary, it's just a matter of timescale

(edit: fun fact, the Appalachian mountain range is older than trees!)

Appalachian mountains and the Scottish Highlands predate the Continental Drift, and are technically the same mountain range, they also predate sharks and bones.

True. We need to ask that person how long a wave needs to last before it becomes a water mountain. I'll tentatively say a year?

Everything is temporary, in fact.
