Jenkins Peak is a 7,268-foot elevation (2,215 m) mountain summit located in Tooele County, Utah, United States.

Description

Jenkins Peak is the third-highest summit in the Silver Island Mountains which are a subset of the Great Basin Ranges.[2] It is set on land controlled by the Bureau of Land Management. The community of Wendover, Utah, is 17 miles to the southwest and the Bonneville Speedway is eight miles to the south. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 3,000 feet (910 meters) above the Bonneville Salt Flats in two miles. This landform's toponym was officially adopted in 1960 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names to honor David Abbott "Ab" Jenkins (1883–1956), a professional race car driver who was interested in land speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats.[4][5][6] He was instrumental in establishing Bonneville as a location for such events, and was elected Mayor of Salt Lake City in 1940.

Climate

Jenkins Peak is set in the Great Salt Lake Desert which has hot summers and cold winters.[7] The desert is an example of a cold desert climate as the desert's elevation makes temperatures cooler than lower elevation deserts. Due to the high elevation and aridity, temperatures drop sharply after sunset. Summer nights are comfortably cool. Winter highs are generally above freezing, and winter nights are bitterly cold, with temperatures often dropping well below freezing.

Component (graph theory)

Maximal subgraph whose vertices can reach each other A graph with three components In graph theory, a component of an undirected graph is a connected subgraph that is not part of any larger connected subgraph. The components of any graph partition its vertices into disjoint sets, and are the induced subgraphs of those sets. A graph that is itself connected has exactly one component, consisting of the whole graph. Components are sometimes called connected components. The number of components ...
