Altitude.
elevation
The term for a geographic locations height above sea level is altitude. In geography this is the vertical distance above sea level. However, it may also be called the elevation because in geography it is defined as a specific point's height on the Earth's surface in relation to sea level.
Height of vellore above sea level is 216m (709 Feets)
80' to 100' above sea level

We call this "elevation".
== == Science Major: Altitude is height above mean sea level (MSL) or true altitude, which means in reference to what sea level is on the ground, or height above ground level (AGL), which is also called absolute altitude, which means height above the ground with no reference to the ground's height above sea level. In example, if the sea level in a certain place is 100 feet and you are 250 feet above the ground, your altitude above sea level would be 350 feet, and your altitude above ground level would be 250 feet.
Yes, mean sea level (MSL) is the average (mean) height of the sea.
