Elevation is shown in shades of brown; lighter areas are higher.(陆高高程则以棕色色条表示：更亮的区域表示海拔较高。)
Surveyors marched inland from the coast for thousands of miles, stopping at increments of as little as a few feet to measure their elevation, and marking each increment with two poles.(测量员从海岸向内陆行进数千英里，每增加几英尺就停下来测量海拔，每增加一英尺就用两根杆子做标记。)
To measure the difference in elevation between poles, surveyors used an optical level—a telescope on a level base—placed halfway between the poles.(为了测量两极之间的高程差，测量员在两极中间的一个水平基座上使用了光学水准望远镜。)
The obliteration of misery will be accomplished by a simple elevation of level.(贫困的消灭将由水平的一次简单提高而得以完成。)
The cave-making recipe calls for a steady emission of volcanic gas and heat, a heavy annual snowfall at an elevation high enough to keep it from melting during the summer.(洞穴的形成需要火山气体和热量的稳定释放，海拔高到足以防止每年的大量降雪在夏季融化。)
The novel, he argues, is about the elevation of prose.(他把小说看成是散文的升华。)
In the northern peninsula the elevation is sufficiently low that the ancient Maya were able to reach the water table at deep sinkholes called cenotes, or at deep caves.(在半岛北部，海拔足够低，因此古玛雅人能够经由被称为竖井的深层排水口或深洞探及地下水位。)
The leaf is found in the floor plan, in the section and in the elevation.(这些叶子型元素遍布整个建筑，在平面、剖面和立面里都可以找到。)
But other aspects of the location like the elevation of the land, the plant life nearby, and so on, have a substantial effect on microclimates.(但是这个地方的其他方面因素，比如陆地的海拔、附近的植被等等，都对当地的小气候有实质影响。)
A radiosonde is free to rise to as great an elevation as possible.(无线电探空仪可以自由地上升到尽可能高的高度。)
