Extreme geological expressions provide natural boundary conditions for planetary-scale comparison. The highest exposed elevation and deepest known depression define measurable endpoints within Earth's structural range.
This paper introduces a formal comparative framework using relative position, magnitude contrast, structural context, gradient relationships, and extreme-value spacing.
Rather than focusing on the origin of either feature, the framework examines how extreme reference points can be incorporated into broader structural comparison systems.
The resulting methodology establishes a repeatable way to compare geological extremes using consistent descriptors and measurable relationships.
This paper creates a formal bridge between isolated extremes and planetary-scale comparative analysis.
