Hi,
I am very much interested in geography and design (I know a weird mix). I have decided to appear for NATA and I was going through a few resources online just to see what and how much I know when I stumbled upon your query. I, thankfully, know this and will be able to help you out. I will talk about what is land elevation and how is elevation of land measured.
What is land elevation?Elevation is the distance of land from above sea level. Let’s say you are watching a dance reality show and a ballet performance starts. You are fascinated by the ballet dancer leaping 2.5 feet in the air, this is elevation.
Measurement of land elevation is also known as land survey. It is conducted by land surveyors. Let us understand how is elevation of land measured.
As I mentioned, land surveyors conduct measurement of land elevation using engineering, mathematical, legal and physical principles. It is done to know the 3-d position of various terrestrial points and the distance and angles between those points.
These days you can measure land elevation using apps on your smartphones, or you can simply apply for a land assessment by a land surveyor to find out the elevation of land in your area.
This is my answer for your query: how is elevation of land measured. I hope this clarifies the concept to you.
