Quito's elevation of 2,850 m (9,350 ft) makes it either the highest or the second highest capital city in the world. This varied standing is because Bolivia is a country with multiple capitals ; if La Paz is considered the Bolivian national capital, it tops the list of highest capitals, but if Sucre is specified as the capital, then it is the ...
Sana'a, Yemen. Mexico City, Mexico. Tehran, Iran. Kabul, Afghanistan. Nairobi, Kenya. Kathmandu, Nepal. This is a list of national capitals ordered by elevation. Higher elevations typically have social, economic, and architectural effects on cities, in particular colder temperatures in winter. Low elevation cities are often seaports or are ...
List of cities by elevation. The following is a list of the world's major cities (either capitals, more than one million inhabitants or an elevation of over 1,000 m [3,300 ft]) by elevation. In addition, the country, continental region, latitude and longitude are shown for all cities listed.
Height above mean sea level is a measure of a location's vertical distance (height, elevation or altitude) in reference to a vertical datum based on a historic mean sea level. In geodesy, it is formalized as orthometric height. The zero level varies in different countries due to different reference points and historic measurement periods.
Pichincha is a stratovolcano in Ecuador. The capital Quito wraps around its eastern slopes. The two highest peaks of the mountain are Wawa Pichincha (Kichwa wawa child, baby / small, [3] Spanish spelling Guagua Pichincha) (4,784 metres (15,696 ft)) and Ruku Pichincha (Kichwa ruku old person, [3] Spanish Rucu Pichincha) (4,698 metres (15,413 ft)).

Geopotential is the gravitational potential energy per unit mass at elevation : where is the acceleration due to gravity, is latitude, and is the geometric elevation. [1] Geopotential height may be obtained from normalizing geopotential by the acceleration of gravity: where = 9.80665 m/s 2, the standard gravity at mean sea level. [4]
