Matches in DBpedia 2014 for { ?s ?p The following sortable table lists the 200 most topographically prominent mountain peaks of the United States.Topographic elevation is the vertical distance above the reference geoid, a precise mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface. Topographic prominence is the elevation difference between the summit and the highest or key col to a higher summit. Topographic isolation is the minimum great circle distance to a point of higher elevation.This article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least 100 meters (328.1 feet) of topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least 500 meters (1640.4 feet) of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least 1500 meters (4921.3 feet) of topographic prominence. There are 129 ultra-prominent summits in the United States.All elevations in the 48 states of the contiguous United States include an elevation adjustment from the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). For further information, please see this United States National Geodetic Survey note.In the United States, only Mount McKinley exceeds 5000 meters (16,404.2 feet) of topographic prominence. Three major summits exceed 4000 meters (13,123.4 feet), ten exceed 3000 meters (9842.5 feet), and 45 exceed 2000 meters (6561.7 feet) of topographic prominence.. }
