peer agreement (net): +1relief Explanation: You could also use elevation but I think relief could work http://geography.about.com/od/geographyglossaryr/g/ggrelief.... http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_Relief_in_geography Inequalities of evaluation and the configuration of land features on the surface of the Earth which may be represented on maps or charts by contours, hypsometric tints, shading, or spot elevations http://www.thefreedictionary.com/relief -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 35 mins (2012-07-29 17:21:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In view of another question you have posted, I think 'elevation' is the word you need since you are writing about buildings and not natural phenomena. |
