What is the difference between height and elevation?
There is a big difference between height and elevation. Height is how tall something is. Elevation is how far above sea level something is.
What is altitude?
== == 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.
How do you find the height of a cylinder when you have the radius and volume?
pi*radius2*height = volume Make the height the subject of the above formula:- height = volume/pi*radius2
What is The difference between Decision Altitude and Decision Height?
Altitude is measured above sea level, Height is measured above ground level. An example would be an airfield that is on a hill would have and altitude of however many feet it is above sea level, where as it would have a height of 0ft, no matter how far above the sea level it is. Now a Decision Altitude is used for a precision approach ie an ILS or MLS. So for example the standard minimum Decision Height (ie above the airfield) for a Cat I approach is 200ft. Say for example that airfield was itself on a hill that was 500ft above sea level the DH would remain 200ft but the DA would be 500ft + 200ft = 700ft. If you had two altimeters on the flight deck one set to QNH ( the pressures setting at sea level) and one set to QFE (the pressure setting at the airfield) when you arrived at the Cat 1 minima the QFE altimeter would read 200ft and the QNH altimeter would read 700ft. Now if the question is actually what is the difference between Decision Altitude (DA) and Minimum Decision Altitude (MDA) the answer is sightly different. A DA is as answered above and is used on a Precision Approach (ie ILS) and the MDA is used on a Non Precision Approach (ie Loc, GP, VOR, NDB)
How high is modesto above sea level?
Oh, a modest height.
What is the difference between height and elevation?
There is a big difference between height and elevation. Height is how tall something is. Elevation is how far above sea level something is.
What is the difference between relief and elevation on a physical map?
Relief is the difference between high and low elevationElevation is the the height above sea level of a point on Earth's surface.by` Lora Sukiasyan
At what height in kilometers above the surface of the Earth is there a 4 percent difference between the approximate gravitational force mg and the actual gravitational force on an object?

What largest crater has a lake above it?
crater lake crater lake
Is the height of an object above sea level is its relief?
No, the height of an object above sea level is its elevation, not relief. Relief refers to the difference in elevation between the highest and lowest points of a particular area or landform.
What is a landforms relief if its height is above sea level?
A landform's relief refers to the difference in elevation between its highest and lowest points. If a landform's height is above sea level, its relief is measured as the vertical distance between its highest point and sea level.
What is the difference between sea level and elevation?
Sea level ~ average (mean) height of the sea, with a reference to a suitable reference point. Elevation ~ height of a geographic location above mean sea level.
How do satellites measure the Gulf Stream?
The satellite measures the height above the ocean surface by sending out a pulse and timing its return to the satellite. The difference between the two is the height of the ocean surface at a given location.
What is the measuring difference between height and length?
Both height and length are linear measurements. The units of measure are the same. Height -- not heighth -- is synonymous with altitude, and can be thought of as the distance above the ground, as in the height of a skyscraper or the height of a tall tree (or any tree, for that matter).
The term for a geographic locations height above sea level is?
The term for a geographic locations height above sea level is altitude. In geography this is the vertical distance above sea level. However, it may also be called the elevation because in geography it is defined as a specific point's height on the Earth's surface in relation to sea level.
What is the average height of a handrail?
The average height of a handrail is typically between 34 to 38 inches above the surface it is mounted on.
What is the difference between relief and elevation?
Relief is the change in elevation in a region and measures the difference between that area's highest and lowest elevation. Elevation is the distance above or below sea level that a region is.
