The height of a landform in relation to sea level is called its elevation. The elevation is typically measured in feet or meters above sea level and is an important factor in determining the topography and climate of a region.
The elevation of the land above sea level refers to how high the land is compared to the average level of the ocean. It is measured in feet or meters to indicate the height of the land above sea level.
Elevation if on land Altitude if airborne above the ocean That will change depending on where you are in the world. A mapping application such as Google Earth will give you the elevation of most places on Earth with an accuracy of a few meters.
An elevation map shows the height of land above sea level.
