Largest Cities By Elevation Range

Directions

Name the 10 largest cities in each elevation range. Elevations are based on the Google Elevation API using the coordinates of the city used on my cities quizzes. Obviously cities can span a good amount of elevation but I am using the elevation at the point of the city coordinate.

World Circle Population Selection Challenge

The object of this quiz is to click on the circle containing the largest population. When you begin you'll be shown 2 circles with radii between 100 and 2500 km on the map which do not intersect. Click on the one with the larger population within it (based world population density info) then 'Submit' - if you are correct you'll move on. One incorrect round and the quiz is over. Every 5 rounds the number of circles on the map will increase by 1. Try to build the longest streak of correct circles. Circles displayed will always be non-intersecting.

World Grid Population Challenge

First choose a grid size by typing '30', '20', or '10'. A grid of that size lat/long will be placed on the map (so if you choose '20' the grid width and height will be 20 degrees). Then, double click on the grid square with the highest population within it (based on world 10km x 10km population density estimates). The highest-population remaining square will give you 100 points, all the way down to 0 for the one with the smallest population. Try to obtain the most points by successively double-clicking on the highest-populated grid square.

World Circle Radius Population Challenge

The object of this quiz is to adjust each circle's radius so it contains the target population shown at the right. When you click Start you will be shown a marker on a random populated world grid square (there are over 800K 10x10 km grid squares used for the data, courtesy of https://human-settlement.emergency.copernicus.eu/index.php). Also you will see an adjustable circle of radius 500 km to start. Adjust the circle's radius by dragging it until it contains the target number of people shown - this target will be between 2.5 and 250 million people. Then click submit. You are scored on how close your circle's population is to the target.

According to the source no, and it’s not an average it’s the elevation at the coordinate I use for my city quizzes.

Why are cities like tokyo, new york, london etc. not accepted? They are definitely among the largest cities?

They are but not among the largest in their elevation ranges – remember on my site populations are city proper not whole metro area.

Not by city proper population. My quizzes use city proper, per the figures on citypopulation.de.
