The approximate elevation change between the highest point, Mount Everest at 29,032 feet (8,848 meters), and the lowest point, the Mariana Trench at about 36,070 feet (10,994 meters) below sea level, is roughly 65,102 feet (19,842 meters).
Relief refers to the variation in height or elevation within a specific area, while elevation is the height above sea level of a point on Earth's surface. Relief is the difference between the highest and lowest points in an area, showcasing its topographical diversity, whereas elevation is a specific measurement of how high or low a point is in relation to sea level.
Approximately 29 of the Earth's surface above sea level ranges in elevation from 0 km to the highest point.
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.
well elevation is the distance in a particular location between the surface and where the surface of the sea would be at a 90 degree angle measurement (if up to sea level then it's a negative elevation, down to sea level it's a positive elevation). So the elevation of a city would either be the lowest or highest natural (not manmade like a building) point in the city or the average elevation of the city(i'm pretty sure it's this) or the average of the lowest and highest point in the city.
If any part of the lake surface were really to be any higher, water would soon flow to lower parts. So, there shouldn't be any significant differences in elevation in a lake. In a river, the situation is different, because water is indeed flowing all the time, but a lake, almost by definition, doesn't have large currents.

The vertical difference in elevation between the highest and lowest points of a land surface within a specified horizontal distance or in a limited area. Also known as relative relief.
Lake Superior has the highest surface elevation of the Great Lakes. Lake Superior has an average surface elevation of 601.1 ft above sea level. Lakes Huron and Michigan are connected, so they have the same elevation of 577.5 ft above sea level. Then it drops down a mere 8 ft to Lake Erie which has an elevation of 569.2 ft. Finally, after flowing through the Niagara River, the water drops down to Lake Ontario which has an elevation of only 243.3 ft.
it is the highest part usable runway surface. Measured in feet above Mean Sea Level(MSL)

Relief refers to the differences in height between the highest and lowest points in an area, indicating the topography. Elevation, on the other hand, is the height above a fixed reference point, usually sea level, at a specific location. In essence, relief depicts the variation in elevation within a particular area, while elevation is the specific height of a point on Earth's surface.
Angular measurement between two line, when one of them is surface line and another is the line which connect a point on the surface to the peak of the object is known as angular elevation of that object with reference to the the perticular on the surface.
There is no data available for "average elevations of continents" except that Antarctica, with its deep ice cap, has the highest overall elevation. This would not be the case if considering the underlying land surface. Of the 7 classic continents, Australia (proper) may have the lowest elevation because it has fewer tall mountain ranges than Europe or the Americas.Asia has the lowest and highest points on earth, the Dead Sea on Israel/Jordan border is the lowest and the highest is Mount Everest, Nepal/China

Lake Tahoe has a surface elevation of 6,225 ft and a maximum depth of 1,645 ft.
