"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.
