- Abstract
- World Mountain Peaks, 1996 is a point theme representing mountain peaks worldwide. Attribute information includes the mountain name, the name of the mountain system, range, or territory where the peak is located, and the elevation of the peak.
- Purpose
- For educational, non-commercial purposes. This dataset is appropriate for use in a GIS.
- Supplemental Information
- The distribution and elevations of the highest parts of mountains, massifs, and ranges, are two of the most meaningful characteristics for describing and exploring the outer features of the earth's relief. Peaks, together with other relief characteristics such as morphology, genesis, and structure and components of the landscape, provide a better understanding of the present-day nature and economic development of the continents.
