Obviously if the pipeline is running downhill you would be getting the benefit of gravity. Also every few years someone suggests that we pipe water from the American-Canadien Great Lakes to the American desert southwest. This more than likely will never happen as the pipeline would have to cross the Rocky Mountains and would require large amounts of energy to overcome the elevational effects. Water weighs in at approx. 8 pounds per gallon so start figuring how expensive this water will be... Search on the terms "Pipeline hydraulics" etc for a better explanation from a real engineer.

What is fault elevation?
Elevation can impact how active an earthquake fault is. Studies have shown that the higher in altitude a fault line is, the more active the fault line is.

What is the difference between contour lines and relief?
Contour line connect points of equal elevation on a map, whereas relief is the difference in elevation from the highest and lowest on a map.

What is the change in elevation from one contour line to the next is called?
The change in elevation from one contour line to the next is called the contour interval. It represents the difference in elevation between each contour line on a map.

No. Contour lines connect points of the same elevation
What is the elevation of the highest contour line on hill w?
The elevation of the highest contour line on hill W is the value indicated on that specific contour line, representing the peak of the hill. On a topographic map, contour lines are used to show the elevation and shape of the land, with each line representing a specific elevation.
What is a contour line map?
topographic elevation
