find the gradient
radient
a mountain structure is an example of elevation
Elevation means the height of something.
Finished Floor Elevation. The elevation at finished floor level.
the measure of change in elevation in a certain distance is called gradient
the measure of change in elevation in a certain distance is called gradient
It's the Gradient.
This is mathematically known as slope or "rise/run".
The measure of change in elevation in a certain distance is called gradient.
"Gradient" of a point quantity is a measurement of how fast it changes in a specific direction. For topography, the gradient of the land is its slope in some direction. It would work out to be dimensionless, because it has to be change in elevation/distance which is length/length no matter what units you use for the elevation or distance.

This would be the slope or the gradient.
A stream gradient is the grade measure by the ratio of drop in elevation of a stream. It is expressed as feet per mile.
Little change in elevation, or a low gradient
The gradient of a quantity is the greatest rate at which it changes as you move in different directions from where you are now. If the quantity has a negative gradient, that means that the quantity decreases in that direction. A great example of a negative gradient is the elevation of the land at a point on a road that has a hill on one side and a cliff on the other side. The greatest rate at which the elevation changes is in the direction off the edge of the cliff, and it's negative in that direction.
i presume from the question that you are referring to the gradient of a line or road/hill the gradient of a hill is the change in the height (the rise) divided by the hozintal distance (the run) i hope this helps
