How is an elevation map measured?
An elevation map is usually measured using remote sensing techniques like LiDAR or radar to capture the topography of the Earth’s surface. These methods use sensors to calculate the distance between the Earth's surface and the sensor, creating a detailed map of the elevation at various points. GPS technology can also be used to determine elevation by measuring the position of a receiver on Earth's surface in relation to known elevations elsewhere.
What units can be used to express elevation?
Elevation can be expressed using various units depending on the region and context. Common units include feet, meters, and kilometers. In aviation, elevation is often measured in feet above sea level, while in geology and geography, it is commonly measured in meters or kilometers above sea level.
