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 9004 m. The elevation ranges are also great in Nepal (8780 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 29 μm gradient per km2.
