The template takes a three-digit Flight level number and converts it into feet and meters. Usage. Flight level | 10}} → FL010 (1,000 ft; 300 m)
Therefore, a pressure altitude of 32,000 ft (9,800 m) is referred to as "flight level 320". In metre altitudes the format is Flight Level xx000 metres. Flight levels are usually designated in writing as FLxxx, where xxx is a two- or three-digit number indicating the pressure altitude in units of 100 feet (30 m). In radio communications, FL290 ...
There are 14 mountains over 8,000 metres (26,247 ft), which are often referred to as the Eight-thousanders. (Some people have claimed there are six more 8,000m peaks in Nepal, making for a total of 20. [1])
Mauna Loa (4,169 m or 13,678 ft) is the largest mountain on Earth in terms of base area (about 5,200 km 2 or 2,000 sq mi) and volume (about 42,000 km 3 or 10,000 cu mi), 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.
Height on the other hand simply means elevation of the summit above sea level. Regarding parents, the prominence parent of peak A can be found by dividing the island or region in question into territories, by tracing the runoff from the key col ( mountain pass ) of every peak that is more prominent than peak A.
In greater North America, only Denali exceeds 6000 meters (19,685 feet) elevation. Three major summits exceed 5500 meters (18,045 feet), 11 exceed 5000 meters (16,404 feet), 21 exceed 4500 meters (14,764 feet), 124 exceed 4000 meters (13,123 feet), 277 exceed 3500 meters (11,483 feet), and the following 403 major summits exceed 3000 meters ...
Of the 50 most prominent summits of the United States, only Denali exceeds 5000 meters (16,404 feet) of topographic prominence, three peaks exceed 4000 meters (13,123 feet), ten peaks exceed 3000 meters (9843 feet), 45 peaks exceed 2000 meters (6562 feet), and all 50 peaks exceed 1932 meters (6339 feet) of topographic prominence.
In contrast, the Chrysler Building employed a very large 38.1 m (125 ft) spire secretly assembled inside the building to claim the title of world's tallest building with a total height of 318.9 m (1,046 ft), although it had a lower top occupied floor and a shorter height when both buildings' spires were excluded.
