The word you are looking for is "altitude."
Altitude
Elevation is the height of a location above a reference point, usually the Earth's sea level. It is typically measured in meters or feet and is used to describe the vertical distance between a point on the Earth's surface and sea level.
Elevation refers to the height of a mountain summit above a reference point, usually sea level. It is a measure of how tall a mountain is relative to its surroundings. The higher the elevation, the taller the mountain.
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.
Air is an insulator, the higher the altitude the less air there is, therefore less insulation and the suns heat can escape easily. The higher the altitude the more the atmosphere behaves like a vacuum.
Elevation is the word that means the height of land above sea level.
Altitude
At the top. "Altitude" means elevation or height above a surface, or above sea level.
Elevation -- a measurement of height above sea level in this case -- means the same in Antarctica as it does on any continent on earth.
Elevation means "height above sea level." In the United States, where we have refused to dump the outdated customary system, the elevation key shows the height above sea level in feet as well as in meters. In the rest of the world, people only use meters to measure elevation.
Elevation is the height of a location above a reference point, usually the Earth's sea level. It is typically measured in meters or feet and is used to describe the vertical distance between a point on the Earth's surface and sea level.
The word "elevation" refers to the height of a given location above or below MSL (mean sea level). The related word altitude is usually given as height above the ground.
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.
To elevate means to raise to a higher level, or to promote to a higher rank.
Altitude.
Elevation means the height of something.
== == Science Major: Altitude is height above mean sea level (MSL) or true altitude, which means in reference to what sea level is on the ground, or height above ground level (AGL), which is also called absolute altitude, which means height above the ground with no reference to the ground's height above sea level. In example, if the sea level in a certain place is 100 feet and you are 250 feet above the ground, your altitude above sea level would be 350 feet, and your altitude above ground level would be 250 feet.
