You count how many feet (12 inches) high it is.
GPS receivers do not 'use' elevation for anything. They use the signals from several satellites simultaneously to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation of the receiver's location. It takes a minimum of three satellites to calculate the latitude and longitude, a minimum of four satellites to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation, if more satellites can be found the latitude, longitude, and elevation calculations can be refined more accurately.

Invert elevations can usually be found directly on as-built drawings of the sewer facility. The simplest way to calculate an invert elevation of a manhole is to measure the depth of the manhole from the surface to the pipe invert. The invert elevation equals the ground or rim elevation minus this depth. If you do not know the rim elevation or invert elevation, a surveyor must measure the invert and/or rim elevation with reference to a nearby elevation benchmark (see: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Elevation_Benchmark.jpg). Also, upstream and downstream invert elevations in a manhole typically differ by about 0.1 feet.
To calculate numbers: elevation/deflection/range/ etc.
If you also know its shadow then you can work out the angle of elevation
Elevation of point + whatever reading from Meter Rod= HI
The elevation of a mangrove swamp is that it is as high as 77 cheeseburgers. In order to calculate the height, you must stack them on top of each other and then measure them with spagetti necklaces. I hope this helps
Total relief is the difference in elevation between the highest and lowest points on the map.
the main applicative use of freezing point depression and boiling point elevation is to calculate the molecular mass of a non volatile solute in a pure solvent.
You need to know the chemical formula of the solute, to obtain the value of the van't Hoff factor, which is included in the formula to calculate the boiling point elevation.
Just measure the elevation of the max water height above the ground (or whatever reference level you wish to use).
