How tall is an average mountain?

Answer 1

Anything 500 ft or less above the base is considered a rolling plain.

Under 1000 ft is considered a hill.

And if the highest point is 1000 ft or more above the base, it's considered a mountain.

Answer 2

In the United States, a landform is generally referred to as a mountain if its highest point is 1000 feet or more above its base. This classification is more or less arbitrary, however, as other countries define mountains at other minimum heights.

There isn't an official international definition of a mountain, but it's generally accepted that it should be higher and steeper than a hill.

The US has its own definition of a mountain, which is that it must be over 1000 feet (304.8 meters) at its highest point above base.

A US hill cuts off at 999 feet (304.5 meters).

There are other definitions, which require a mountain to be variously 3281 feet (1000 meters), 4921 feet (1500 meters) or 8202 feet (2500 meters) above base.
