The 10 tallest peaks in the U.S. are all in Alaska because Alaska has some of the most geologically active and mountainous terrain in North America, including the Alaska Range and the Saint Elias Mountains. These regions are characterized by tectonic activity, including the collision of the North American and Pacific plates, which has led to the creation of towering mountains such as Denali, the tallest peak in North America.
