  Elevations and Distances
The elevations of features and distances between points in the United States were determined from surveys and topographic maps of the U.S. Geological Survey or obtained from other sources.
In most cases, the elevations were determined from surveys and from 1:24,000- and 1:25,000-scale, 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle maps.

The purpose of the inspections was to determine the numbers and elevations of lowest floor living units that were damaged or destroyed by flood effects during Hurricane Ivan.
Lowest floor living unit elevations The lowest top-of-lowest-floor elevation was 10 feet the National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD), but the lowest living units were at 12.5 feet NGVD; the highest top of a lowest floor was 21.9 feet NGVD.
Lowest floor damage could have been prevented or reduced by adherence to current VE zone construction standards and use of freeboard to elevate the lowest floors several feet above the BFE.

 AccuTrans 3D - Landscapes
Digital Elevation Model (DEM) landscapes are just a collection of heights or elevations that represent a rectangular area of the real world or an imaginary world.
Elevations are sampled at regular intervals in the North-South and East-West directions.
Without writing to a file, the landscape can be converted to a 3D object including UV coordinates and with the lowest elevations of the landscape deleted from the 3D object.

To enable homebuyers to estimate the cost of flood insurance, a real-estate firm provides clients with the elevation of each 10-meter by 10-meter square of land in regions where homes may be purchased.
As prospective homebuyers, we wish to know the elevation of the water after it has collected in low-lying squares, and also the percentage of the region's area that is completely submerged (that is, the percentage of 10-meter squares whose elevation is strictly less than the water level).
Elevations are given in meters, with positive and negative numbers representing elevations above and below sea level, respectively.

For elevated homes in the VE-Zone, the lowest elevation is the bottom of the lowest horizontal member supporting the structure.
The lowest floor elevations are certified by a registered land surveyor on the elevation certificate.
It is our recommendation that you obtain a flood elevation certificate, which requires you to obtain a new survey unless you have had one done in the last 12 months (December 2003).

 Plotting 3D Surfaces using Java
The plot on the left in Figure 1 is the old standby method in which the elevation of each point on the surface is represented by a shade of gray with the highest elevation being white and the lowest elevation being fl.
By using fl to indicate the lowest elevation, (in addition to using shades of blue to indicate low elevations), it is easy to determine the exact locations of the lowest elevations in the Color Shift Plot in the center of Figure 1.
The highest elevation is indicated by the small white square, which is on the cross hairs at the center of the plot.

 02/01/1999 - Guardrail height when used as fall protection for work surfaces with two elevations.
Thank you for your letter dated July 1, 1998, to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requesting clarification of 29 CFR 1926.502(b)(1) (guardrail height) as it applies to cast-in-place concrete structures.
For example, when the lower surface width and the height difference are equal, say 30 in., a guardrail of 39 in.
(lowest allowed by OSHA) on the lower surface would not provide proper protection to employees working on the upper surface.

 Comparing Topography Soil Sampling with Other Known Precision Ag. Methods
Results of elevation sampling in 1996, as in the past, have shown a direct correlation between the available nitrogen and the separate elevations of fields with varying topography.
By using elevations from the topography map, five different management zones were digitized along contour lines and the zones were sampled accordingly.
Elevation sampling accuracy could undoubtedly be improved if the number of zones sampled were increased.

 A New Approach to Earth History » A critique of “The Genesis Flood”
In general, animals living at the lowest elevations would tend to be buried at the lowest elevations, and so on, with elevations in the strata thus representing relative elevations of habitat or ecological zones.
Mammals and birds would be found in general at higher elevations than reptiles and amphibians, both because of their habitat and because of their greater mobility.
Eventually, of course, the floodwaters overtook even those who had fled to the highest elevations, but in most cases these men and animals would not be buried but simply drowned and then carried about by the waters on or near the surface until finally decomposed by the elements.

The flowering season begins as early as February at the lowest elevations in the lowest- elevation and lowest-latitude desert habitats, and as late as ay in the grassland and woodland habitats.
They occur at their highest elevations (6000 feet, 1800 m) on limestone and at their lowest (sea level) on granite.
At the lowest elevation extreme, ocotillos are limited by water rather than frost.

 Rocky Mountain National Park : A Nature Guide : Life Zones | Frommers.com
Elevation is the determining factor in locating and identifying the variety of plants and animals found in Rocky, and the park can easily be divided into three main zones: the montane ecosystem, at lower elevations; the subalpine, at the midlevels; and the alpine, at the park's highest elevations.
The warmest part of the park, because it is at the lowest elevation, the montane ecosystem has the greatest variety of wildlife.
Watch for colorful mountain bluebirds, among the earliest of the park's seasonal residents to arrive, as well as the distinctive red-napped sapsucker, western tanagers, fl-billed magpies, and warbling vireos, which can sometimes be heard singing from their nests in aspen trees.

Only the highest elevations and the extreme eastern margin of the region receive sufficient precipitation in relation to temperature to be considered semiarid rather than true desert.
Desert shrubs, particularly creosote bush, occupy the lowest elevations, and there are indications that this type of vegetation has been expanding upslope throughout the region as a result of grassland disturbance over the last 100 years.

 Paleobotany and paleoclimate of the southern Colorado Plateau (page 1 of 2)
At higher elevations on the San Francisco Peaks and White Mountains, studies at Walker Lake and Hay Lake indicate that the subalpine forests of the Middle Wisconsin were similar to those we see today, but with sagebrush being a more common associate of the high-elevation conifers.
At the lowest elevations on the southern Colorado Plateau, a juniper-desert scrub community was widespread, and consisted mostly of Utah and one-seed juniper, sagebrush, prickly-pear cactus, agave, and saltbush.
At elevations from 1600 to 2100 meters, a number of sites have been studied, and thus scientists have a better picture of the paleoenvironment of the southern Colorado Plateau at these elevations during the late Wisconsin.

 Response of wetlands to rising sea level in the lower coastal plain of North Carolina
We came to this conclusion after we examined the distribution of wetlands, elevation contours, estimates of surface slope, soil types, and peat deposits on the peninsula.
Some unusual features of this peninsula are low elevation (56% of total area < 1.5 m), extensive coverage by wetlands (53%) and hydric soils (90%), negligible slopes of the land surface, virtual absence of tides, and lack of abundant sources of sediment.
Land use and drainage in the lowest elevations of the peninsula are currently being affected by sea level.
