National elevation ranges

Of all countries, Lesotho has the world's highest low point at 1400 m. Other countries with high low points include Rwanda (950 m) and Andorra (840 m). The Maldives have the world's lowest high point at 2.4 m. Other countries with very low high points include Tuvalu (5 m) and the Marshall Islands (10 m). These island countries also have the smallest range between their lowest (sea level) and highest points, and are very sensitive to rise in sea level.

The highest and lowest points in China constitute the greatest elevation range within any single country at 9002 m. The elevation ranges are also great in Nepal (8778 m), Pakistan (8611 m), and India (8588 m).

Monaco's elevation range is among the greatest relative to surface area. Within its 2.02 km² territory, there is a difference of 140 m between its highest and lowest points, equivalent to an average gradient of 69 m for every km². In Australia's 7,686,850 km² area there is only a 2244 m difference between the highest and lowest points, which is equivalent to an average gradient of 292 μm gradient per km².

↑ Presumed altitude. Mount Roraima is a large, roughly flat tabletop plateau (a tepui) where the borders of Guyana, Venezuela and Brazil meet. Its highest elevation is at 2,810 m or 9,219 ft, but that point is fully inside Venezuelan territory. The highest point in the Brazilian part of the mountain was determined by a 2005 Brazilian Army survey to be at the international border tripoint and measured by GPS to be at 2,734 m or 8,970 ft. The exact highest point on the Guyanese side of the mountain is not known and may be the border tripoint as well, but it is certainly close to that altitude value anyway. It should also be noted that Venezuela claims that region of Guyana as Guayana Esequiba and therefore does not recognize Mount Roraima as containing Guyana's highest point.
