Mountains can be listed according to various criteria:
- They can be part of peakbagging lists, which are goals for mountain climbers/hikers.
- They can be sorted by height (elevation above sea level)
- Another notion of "height" is topographic prominence, see List of most prominent mountains, List of peaks by prominence, or Ultra-prominent peak
- Yet another notion of "height" is distance of summit from the Earth's center
- The notion of "highest" can be restricted to a specific geographic area
- Countries can be sorted by their highest elevation
- Islands can also be sorted by their highest elevation
- They can be sorted by country or province.
- The highest peak on each continent is called the Seven Summits
- The second-highest peak on each continent is called the Seven Second Summits
- The third-highest peak on each continent is called the Seven Third Summits
- They can be sorted by geological origin.
- They can be organized into mountain ranges.
