MOUNTAINS EXTENSIVELY
There are at least 109
mountains on Earth with
elevations greater than 7,200 metres (23,622 ft) above
sea level. The vast majority of these mountains are located on the edge of the
Indian subcontinent and
Tibet, with some peaks in
Central Asia. Only those
summits are included that, by an objective measure, may be considered individual mountains as opposed to subsidiary peaks.
The dividing line between a mountain with multiple peaks and separate mountains is not always clear (see also
Highest unclimbed mountain).
A popular and intuitive way to distinguish mountains from subsidiary
peaks is by their height above the highest saddle connecting it to a
higher summit, a measure called
topographic prominence
or re-ascent (the higher summit is called the "parent peak"). A common
definition of a mountain is a summit with 300 m (980 ft) prominence.
Alternatively, a relative prominence (prominence/height) is used
(usually 7–8%) to reflect that in higher mountain ranges everything is
on a larger scale. The table below lists the highest 100 summits with at
least 500 m (1,640 ft) prominence, approximating a 7% relative
prominence. A drawback of a prominence-based list is that it may exclude
well-known or spectacular mountains that are connected via a high ridge
to a taller summit, such as
Eiger or
Nuptse. A few such peaks and mountains with nearly sufficient prominence are included but not numbered in this list.
It is very unlikely that all given heights are correct to the nearest
metre; indeed, the sea level is often problematic to define when a
mountain is remote from the sea. Different sources often differ by many
metres, and the heights given below may well differ from those elsewhere
in this encyclopedia. As an extreme example,
Ulugh Muztagh on the north
Tibetan Plateau
is often listed as 7,723 m (25,338 ft) to 7,754 m (25,440 ft), but
appears to be only 6,973 m (22,877 ft) to 6,987 m (22,923 ft). Some
mountains differ by > 100 m (330 ft) on different maps, while even
very thorough current measurements of
Mount Everest
range from 8,840 m (29,003 ft) to 8,850 m (29,035 ft). These
discrepancies serve to emphasize the uncertainties in the listed
heights.
Though some parts of the world, especially the most mountainous
parts, have never been thoroughly mapped, it is unlikely that any
mountains this high have been overlooked, because
synthetic aperture radar can and
has been
used to measure elevations of most otherwise inaccessible places.
Still, heights and/or prominences may be revised, so that the order of
the list may change and even "new" mountains could enter the list over
time. To be safe, the list has been extended to include all 7,200 m
(23,622 ft) peaks.
The highest mountains above sea level are generally not the highest
above the surrounding terrain. There is no precise definition of
surrounding base, but
Denali,
Mount Kilimanjaro and
Nanga Parbat
are possible candidates for the tallest mountain on land by this
measure. The bases of mountain islands are below sea level, and given
this consideration
Mauna Kea (4,207 m (13,802 ft) above sea level) is the
world's tallest mountain and
volcano, rising about 10,203 m (33,474 ft) from the
Pacific Ocean floor.
Ojos del Salado has the greatest rise on
Earth—13,420 m (44,029 ft) from the summit
[citation needed] to the bottom of the
Atacama Trench about 560 km (350 mi) away, though most of this rise is not part of the mountain.
The highest mountains are also not generally the most voluminous.
Mauna Loa (4,169 m or 13,678 ft) is the largest mountain on Earth in terms of base area (about 2,000 sq mi or 5,200 km
2) and volume (about 10,000 cu mi or 42,000 km
3), although, due to the intergrade of
lava from
Kilauea,
Hualalai and
Mauna Kea, the volume can only be estimated based on surface area and height of the edifice.
Mt. Kilimanjaro is the largest non-shield volcano in terms of both base area (245 sq mi or 635 km
2) and volume (1,150 cu mi or 4,793 km
3).
Mount Logan is the largest non-volcanic mountain in base area (120 sq mi or 311 km
2).
The highest mountains above sea level are also not those with peaks farthest from the centre of the Earth, because the
figure of the Earth is not spherical. Sea level closer to the equator is several kilometres farther from the centre of the Earth. The summit of
Chimborazo,
Ecuador's tallest mountain, is usually considered to be the farthest point from the Earth's centre, although the southern summit of
Peru's tallest mountain,
Huascarán, is another contender.
[1] Both have elevations above sea level more than 2 km less than that of Everest.
Geographical distribution
Almost all mountains in the list are located in the
Himalaya and
Karakoram
ranges to the south and west of the Tibetan plateau. In fact, all
7,000 m (23,000 ft) peaks in the world are located in the centre of
Asia (
East Asia,
Central Asia and
South Asia) in a rectangle edged by
Noshaq (7,492 m or 24,580 ft) on the
Afghanistan-
Pakistan border in the West,
Jengish Chokusu, (Tuōmù'ěr Fēng) (7,439 m or 24,406 ft) on the
Kyrgyzstan –
Xinjiang border to the North,
Gongga Shan (Minya Konka) (7,556 m or 24,790 ft) in
Sichuan to the East, and
Kabru (7,412 m or 24,318 ft) on the
Sikkim (
India) –
Nepal border to the South.
The highest mountain outside of Asia is
Aconcagua
(6,962 m or 22,841 ft), which one list has ranking 189th in the world
amongst mountains with a 500 m or 1,640 ft prominence cutoff.

Data plots
By country
The
following graph ranks the countries by number of mountain peaks over
7,200 metres (23,622 ft) above sea level. Note that 38 peaks are on
de facto borders and two (
Jongsong Peak and
Sia Kangri) are on
tripoints.
Stem and leaf plot
The following is a
stem and leaf plot
of the above data. The two digits to the left of the line are the first
two digits of the mountain's height (metres), and each digit to the
right of the line represents the third digit of the mountain's height.
Each number on the right is linked to the corresponding mountain's
article. For example, the height of one of the mountains (namely Mount
Everest) is 8848 meters. Also, it is apparent that there are five
mountains above 8,200 metres.
