Elevations

Geographically, elevation refers to the geometric height after a fixed reference point. Elevations can be measured by using the Earth’s sea level and the Earth’s center as reference points, but the former is used more commonly.

Do you get points on your license for a seatbelt violation in North Carolina?

In short (Yes) 1 point since the "Seat Belt Use Enhancements" of 2005 The original document where this is located is below, but being a pdf, it could not be copied and pasted correctly here. However someone with the time could edit it properly. Please see http://ftp.ncga.state.nc.us/Sessions/2005/Bills/Senate/pdf/S774v2.pdf for proper former and current statutes revision.

At what elevation Baguio City located and what should be the boiling point of water in Baguio City?

Baguio City is situated at an elevation of approximately 1,540 meters (5,050 feet) above sea level. Due to its high elevation, the boiling point of water in Baguio City is lower than at sea level, around 90.1°C (194.2°F) rather than the standard 100°C (212°F).

How high is Brisbane QLD above sea level?

The highest point in the city of Brisbane, Queensland is Mt Coot-tha, with an elevation of 218 metres.

How do you get bauxite?

Bauxite is primarily mined through open-pit or strip mining techniques. After being extracted, the bauxite ore is processed to refine the aluminum oxide compound found within it, which can then be used to produce aluminum through the electrolysis process.

How tall is the world's tallest mountain?

giant redwood trees. Recorded heights are 364 feet.

Physical research has shown that the tallest a tree can possibly be is about 426 feet. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3643899.stm

The redwood trees and sequoia trees are probably the closes trees have gotten to that.

How would you determine the elevation of a mountain?

The simplest method for measuring height is with an altimeter - basically a barometer - using air pressure as an indication of height. But for surveying more precision is needed. Toward this end, a variety of means, such as precise levels, have been developed. Levels are calibrated to provide a precise plane from which differentials in height between the instrument and the point in question can be measured, typically through the use of a vertical measuring rod.

With the triangulation method, one first needs to know the horizontal distance to the object. If this is not known or cannot be measured directly, it is determined as explained in the triangulation article. Then the height of an object can be determined by measuring the angle between the horizontal plane and the line through that point at a known distance and the top of the object. In order to determine the height of a mountain, one should do this from sea level (the plane of reference), but here the distances can be too great and the mountain may not be visible. So it is done in steps, first determining the position of one point, then moving to that point and doing a relative measurement, and so on until the mountaintop is reached

The state with the lowest elevation the north America?

The state with the lowest elevation is California. Badwater, a basin located in Death Valley, is the specific location (36° 15' N 116° 49.5' W) of the lowest elevation in North America at 282 feet (86.0 m) below sea level. This point is only 84.6 miles (136.2 km) ESE of Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States with an elevation of 14,505 feet (4,421 m).
