This would be the slope or the gradient.
The measure of change in elevation in a certain distance is called slope. It is typically expressed as the ratio of the change in vertical height to the horizontal distance between two points on a surface.
the measure of change in elevation in a certain distance is called gradient
Gradient
The change in elevation divided by the distance traveled is known as the gradient or slope. It is commonly used to measure the steepness of inclines or declines along a route or terrain. The gradient is calculated by dividing the difference in elevation by the horizontal distance covered.

This is mathematically known as slope or "rise/run".

The change in the elevation between isolines is called a contour line. Contour lines on a topographical map resemble a volcano.
No, elevation refers to the height of a landform above a reference point, usually sea level. Steepness of land is usually measured by gradient, slope, or incline, which quantifies the change in elevation over a certain distance.
It's the Gradient.

To measure the slope of a stream, you can use the formula: slope = (change in elevation) / (horizontal distance). First, determine the elevation difference between two points along the stream using a level or GPS. Then, measure the horizontal distance between those points on a map or with a measuring tool. The resulting slope will provide a ratio that indicates the steepness of the stream's gradient.
