The height above sea level is called elevation.

  • Sea level is known as the base level used in the measurement of depth and elevation on earth.
  • It is possible to use this level of measurement because the sea is a continuous body of water.
  • So, its surface is considered to be of the same level all over the world.
  • Hence, elevation is the vertical distance of a point measured from the sea level.
  • The vertical distance can be of a point either above or below sea level.
