How do you
establish "elevation from sea level"?

Introduction:
| One of the
geographical information that we often see or hear about
of towns is their elevation. Elevation is one of the
factors that determines the climate of an area. Some
cities are actually known by their elevation. For
example, Denver, Colorado is known as the Mile-High City
because it is a mile above sea level. For cities and
mountains that are close to the ocean, elevation can be
measured using general measurement tools and some
calculations, but what if the location is many miles
away from any ocean? |
 |
How do you measure
elevation when the town is in the mountains and very far from
the nearest ocean?

Project
description:
In this project we will investigate different possible methods
that can be used to measure the elevation of a place in relation
to sea level. We will also perform an experiment to measure
the elevation of our town or a mountain. |
