There are 50 States.  Better to ask which States don't have mountains.\n\nThe major mountain ranges run North and South.  These are primarily on the East coast and West coast.\n\nThe Midwest is flat as a board.  Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Indiana are extremely flat.  Florida and several of the States on the gulf Coast are flat as well.  Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, have mountain ranges.\n\nThe Appalachain Mountain range runs along the east coast\n\nRockies, Tetons, aer major ranges in the West.

The most common type of mountain is the seamount.Therre are more of them  on the bottom of the sea than regular mountains on the surface of the earth.So,we regular folk don't see them because we can't afford the sub fare.

The highest of the four 'peaks' is Brown's Peak (the northern most) and it has an elevation of 7657 feet.\n\nFour Peaks is located northeast of Phoenix (just north of Apache Lake) and is named for the four prominent crests (peaks) that look somewhat like a crown when viewed from the direction of Phoenix.  I believe that Brown's Peak is the only one of the four to have an official name.  There is a famous amethyst mine located on the southwest slope between the southern two peaks.\n \nFour Peaks is also the name of a popular microbrew near Tempe (ASU) that has the four summits as part of its logo.

I've seen the mountain ranges in the Alps, the Himalayas, the Andes, and the mountains; Mt Kinabalu (highest mountain in South East Asia), several mountains in Taiwan, East Turkestan and Vietnam.\n\nThe Fishtail mountain (Macchapucchre) in Nepal is the most beautiful of them all.

There are three basic classifications of mountains. As I understand it, in the UK, the lowest is from 650 to 1000 meters.  So 650 meters is your answer.  However I would think the differential in altitude gain must be rather drastic in slope for it to count.  You can't go to high plains at 1000 m and say the plains are a Mountain.

There are too many to count.  Get yourself a guidebook.  A search on Amazon for "white mountains hiking" will yield many options.  Pick the one that most closely matches your interests.

In North Carolina?  I'm quite familiar with the area.  If you are looking for vertical, try a house in Banner Elk, which is a town at smack in between of Sugar Mtn. (1200 feet of vertical, the best in NC) and Ski Beech (800 feet of vertical).  They are rather exspensive, though.  You could check out houses around Seven Devils, which is where Hawksnest (600 feet of vertical drop) is situated.  Hawksnest is a little backcountry resort with an FIS-rated slope (Top Gun, but it's hardly ever open) and houses there shouldn't be as expensive as the ones around Banner Elk.  Or you could look for a house around Blowing Rock or Boone, around Appalachian Ski Mtn.  It would probably be more expensive than around the Seven Devils area.  App happens to be my favorite resort because of the friendly staff.  I am never lonely at App, because I have so many friends among the ski patrol and instructors!

The Himalayas, some of the tallest mountains in the world... home to Mt. Everest, K2, etc.

In Virginia, the southwestern portion of the state is part of the Appalachian Plateau province. Regionally, the Appalachian Plateau lies to the northwest of the Valley & Ridge. The boundary between the two provinces, known as the Allegheny structural front in northern and central Virginia A, is a transition from tight folds of the Valley & Ridge to low-amplitude folds and flat-lying rocks in the Plateau.

Mauna Kea in Hawaii is the world's tallest mountain from base to peak! Its base is on the sea floor and it rises 33,480 feet (10,314 meters) in total, reaching 13,796 feet (4205 m) above sea level.

Mount Everest is the highest point on Earth as measured by the height of its summit above sea level - 8,848 meters (29,028 feet).  It is part of the Himalaya range in High Asia, and is located on the border between Nepal and China.\n\nBut if you count the highest mountain from its base to its summit, the answer is Mauna Loa in Hawaii (most is under water, but its total height is 30,080 ft (9,170 m).

On land, the longest mountain range is the Andes of South America which is 7564 km (4700 mi) in length.\n\nBut if including underwater mountains, mid-Atlantic ridge would be the longest, extending 64,374 km (40,000 mi) from the Arctic Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, around Africa, Asia, and Australia, and under the Pacific Ocean to the west coast of North America.\n\n(For the person that said the Himalayas, that would be the *highest* not the longest.)
