Top 10 Highest Mountain Ranges

The top 10 highest mountains in the world, from Mount Everest and K2 to Manaslu and Annapurna. These are the world’s highest summits.

माउंट एवरेस्ट और K2 से मानसलू और अन्नपूर्णा तक दुनिया के शीर्ष 10 सबसे ऊंचे पहाड़। ये हैं दुनिया की सबसे ऊंची चोटी

There are at least 108 mountains on Earth with elevations of 7,200 metres (23,622 ft) or greater above sea level. The vast majority of these mountains are located on the edge of the Indian and Eurasian plates- namely, in China, Pakistan, Nepal and India.

Figure demonstrating the concept of topographic prominence: The prominence of a peak is the height of the peak’s summit above the lowest contour line encircling it and no higher summit. For example, vertical arrows show the topographic prominence of three peaks on an island. A dotted horizontal line links each peak (except the highest) to its key col.

The dividing line between a mountain with multiple peaks and separate mountains is not always clear (see also Highest unclimbed mountain).
