Is altitude and sea level the same thing?
No, altitude and sea level are not the same thing. Altitude is the distance of a location above sea level, while sea level is a specific level used as a reference point for measuring elevations. Sea level represents the average level of the ocean's surface.
Can sea-level pressure and station pressure be the same?
No, sea-level pressure and station pressure are not the same. Station pressure is the atmospheric pressure measured at a specific location, while sea-level pressure is the station pressure adjusted to sea level using a standard formula to account for differences in elevation.
Why can you have the same type of contour line above and below sea level?
Contours are lines connecting points of equal elevation on a map. If you have the same type of contour line both above and below sea level, it means that the elevation increase or decrease is consistent. For example, if you have a contour line at 100 meters above sea level and another at 50 meters below sea level, the difference between them is still 150 meters, even though one is above sea level and the other is below.
Awhat is a beach called above present sea level?
A beach above present sea level is known as a fossil beach or a raised beach. These beaches were formed at sea level in the past but have been lifted up by geological processes to their current elevation.
How many feet is above sea level?
Technically, "sea level" would be zero feet. Sea level is defined as being level with the sea's surface.So let's say men build a sand dune 3 feet high along a beach with the beach being level with the ocean (at zero). That dune would be 3 feet above sea level. Let's say wind piles another 2 feet of sand onto the dunes-- the top would be 5 feet above sea level. Let's say you drive 40 miles inland and you encounter a hill that slopes upward 20 feet before it crests. At the top, you are 20 feet above sea level.The important thing to remember about sea level is it is always about something else in geography. It's about an elevation of land, hill, or mountain. It can be about a river set far inland-- the sea level is based on the elevation of land at the level of the river but as 'sea level'. So the land on which the river sits might be 500 feet above sea level, with higher land surrounding the river.It is NOT about how high the sea level is because sea level is always the surface level. But geographical features can be above--or below--sea level. As another answer states, New Orleans is below sea level in that area. But the mountains in the State of Georgia are higher than sea level-- as is the land between New Orleans and the mountains in Georgia.
What is the sea level like now for cape town?

When did sea anemones first appear?
Sea anenomes have always been in the ocean since day 1. They appeared the same time water did, the same time fish did, etc. They are life underwater, and like I said, they have always been there.
Is altitude and sea level the same thing?
No, altitude and sea level are not the same thing. Altitude is the distance of a location above sea level, while sea level is a specific level used as a reference point for measuring elevations. Sea level represents the average level of the ocean's surface.
Is the sea level the same everywhere?
No it is not the sea level definitely depends on where you are located like in Florida is considered below sea level and in Colorado they are above sea level
Why height is always measured at sea level?
atmospheric pressure ... the diff. in the two pressure in which it will find the height from the level of sea
Is the sea level the same on the panama canal?
No
Which points are located at the same elevation above sea level?
Points that are located at the same elevation above sea level are said to be at the same altitude. points A, B, and C are at the same altitude.
Can sea-level pressure and station pressure be the same?
No, sea-level pressure and station pressure are not the same. Station pressure is the atmospheric pressure measured at a specific location, while sea-level pressure is the station pressure adjusted to sea level using a standard formula to account for differences in elevation.
What is sea level for Chicago Illinois?
Sea level (average sea level) is the start point for measuring elevation on this planet and is considered to be the same everywhere. Chicago, however, is not at sea level; rather its mean elevation is 586 feet (179 meters) above sea level.
What is the integer for 18 feet below sea level?
Mount Kilimanjaro 5895 meters above sea level
How many feet above sea level is Canton Georgia?
Canton Georgia is not in a Sea. In general geographic altitudes are given with reference to sea level, hence the sea level would always be given as 0. Sea level corresponds to a distance of roughly 3958 miles from the center of the Earth.
