This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks of the United States of America. Topographic elevation is the vertical distance above the reference geoid, a mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface. The topographic prominence of a summit is the elevation difference between that summit and the highest or key col to a higher summit. The topographic isolation of a summit is the minimum great-circle distance to a point of equal elevation. This article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least of topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least of topographic prominence. There are 127 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 ). ==Highest major summits== (詳細はhighest summits of the United States with at least of topographic prominence. Of these 50 highest major summits, 28 are located in Colorado, 14 in Alaska, 7 in California, and 1 in Washington. Four of these summits are located on the border between Alaska and Yukon, and one is located on the border between Alaska and British Columbia. The ten highest major summits in the United States are all located in Alaska. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of mountain peaks of the United States」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
