Its a hill
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.
Roughly 27% of the Earth's land area is covered by mountains, which are defined as landforms that rise at least 2,000 feet above their surrounding terrain.
California has a varied topography with elevations ranging from sea level along its coast to over 14,000 feet in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The average elevation of California is around 2,900 feet above sea level.
Land elevation refers to the height of land above sea level. It is typically measured in meters or feet. Elevation data is important for various purposes such as mapping, construction, and scientific studies.
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.

The sea is at a particular level compared to land. Most land is above sea level (or it would be under the sea or very far inland). If you are a mile above sea level, then you are a mile above where the sea would be if there was no land there.
The land along the Mississippi River has an elevation of 0 to 500 feet above sea level.

The elevation of the land being 500 feet means that the height of the land above sea level is 500 feet. This measurement indicates how high the land is in comparison to sea level.
10 to 75 feet above land

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.

Utah's highest elevation point, King's Peak, is 13,518 feet above sea level
It is 13 feet above sea level.
