Dear Sir, I have a question about elevation.Knowing that Denver elevation is already 5,280ft.above sea level gave or take a few feets,and Charleston,South Carolina is at sea level. My question is,if you could go down to Colorado Spring and move Pikes Peak which is 14,110 ft.above sea level at the top and cut it off at the base of the mountain and move it to Charleston,S.C. which is at sea level,what would the elevation be, at the top of Pikes Peak in Charleston? Same mountain but minus the 5,280ft.you start out with when you leave Denver and put it in Charleston. I'am saying the elevation of Pikes Peak is 14,110 ft minus 5,280 ft which is Denver's elevation.I say it should come out to be 8,830 ft. at the top of Pikes Peak in Charleston. Right or wrong?If wrong tell me why or how,and if I'am right please tell me. Thanks for your time on this question. Thanks Again, Cecil Ard
