elevation
Rise above sea
Elevation is height above a reference point, usually sea level: The city sits at an elevation of 5,000 feet.
It also means the act of raising something or someone to a higher position—physical or metaphorical: his elevation to the Supreme Court.
In architecture, an elevation is a flat drawing showing one face of a building.
An elevated mood or style has a lofty, dignified quality.
