Breaking the siege at Chattanooga on Nov. 25, 1863, required that Gen. Braxton Bragg's Confederate forces be driven from Missionary Ridge, a long, north-south elevation rising about 500 feet above the surrounding terrain three miles east of town.
Oceanic plateau, also called Submarine Plateau, large submarine elevation rising sharply at least 200 m (660 feet) above the surrounding deep-sea floor and characterized principally by an extensive, relatively flat or gently tilted summit.
As elevation rises, surfaces of sand and gravelly soil gradually merge into fertile soil on the hillsides and mountain slopes.
Its elevation rises to the Great Escarpment, which flanks the plateau in an almost unbroken line from the Zambezi River to Angola.
In forward direction, satellites can first be tracked when their elevation rises beyond 10°, even though a small delay will be experienced before good and valid data are acquired.
Geospatial analysis involving nearly 700 cryoplanation terraces in eastern Beringia demonstrates that their elevation rises from 175 to 350 masl on Bering Sea islands to median values > 1200 m near the Alaska-Canada border.
Beautiful mountainous scenery surrounds it, with rice fields, waterfalls, and elevations rising to nearly 7,050 feet (2,150 metres).
Elevations rise to 1,800 feet (550 metres) in the more rugged eastern portions.
Along the eastern portion of the Musandam Peninsula, the northern extension of the Ḥajar Mountains (also shared by Oman) offers the only other major relief feature; elevations rise to about 6,500 feet (2,000 metres) at their highest point.
The scientists analyzed more than a decade's worth of data from a network of G.P.S. stations west of Wyoming and New Mexico; they found that, in the past year, coinciding with the onset of the drought, the mountains rose by half an inch, while lower elevations rose by slightly more than a tenth of an inch.
In this remote and largely uninhabited area, Mount Aôral, Cambodia's highest peak, rises to an elevation of 5,949 feet (1,813 metres).
