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.
Every point on a contour line is at a different elevation?
Every point on a given contour line is at the same elevation. Neighboring contour lines are at different elevations.
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 elevation of contour line labeled zero?
Sea level
What Indicates the elevation on a map?
A contour line or a spot height.
What is Olympic cross-country skiing?
Olympic cross-country skiing is many people racing to see who can get to the finish line faster by cross-country skiing, or skiing on flat land.
What country do the line 10 degrees south and 20 degrees east cross?
it is angola
Is it true that every point on a contour line is at a different elevation?
No. Every point on a contour line has the same elevation.
What is cross country pipe line?
a cross country pipeline is a pipeline which starts from a country and its destination is another country but it passes through one or more other countries. It can carry oil gas supply petroleum supply etc.
What is a line connecting points of equal elevation?
property line
What is the best definition of what a contour line is?
A contour line is a line defining elevation on a map.
When was Cross That Line created?
Cross That Line was created in 1988.
What is a contour line map?
topographic elevation
What are the main topographic map rules?
contour lines can never cross. The closer the contour lines are, the steeper the land gets. If you move from one line to another, the elevation becomes different.
Which type of objectives have angle of elevation?
The angle of elevation is looking at an object above your line of sight.
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 highest elevation line shown on the map?
The highest elevation line shown on the map depends on what is the highest point - which is often the summit of a hill or mountain.
