elevation
The elevation or height above sea level is called altitude.
The height above or below sea level is "elevation". Altitude is used only for distance above sea level.
The height of a place above sea level is called elevation.
The word you are looking for is "altitude." Altitude refers to the height or elevation above sea level.
== == 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.
It is called altitude. It is typically expressed as ASL (above mean sea level, or MSL). However, it can also be specified as AGL (Above the local Ground Level).
This characteristic is called altitude or elevation.
Altitude
Yes, that is correct. Altitude above sea level, for example, is negative or positive - if you are below sea level, a negative number will be used.
It is not, the highest altitude above Sea Level is achieved by the summit of Mt. Everest.
The altitude above sea level in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, is approximately 929 meters (3,048 feet).
