Altitude
Altitude refers to the height of an object or point in relation to a specific reference point, such as sea level. It is commonly used in geography, aviation, and outdoor recreational activities to describe the vertical distance above a particular location.
Types of Altitude
- True Altitude: The vertical distance of an object above sea level.
- Indicated Altitude: The altitude shown on an altimeter, which may be affected by temperature and pressure variations.
- Absolute Altitude: The vertical distance of an object above the terrain or ground level.
- Pressure Altitude: The altitude indicated when an aircraft's altimeter is set to a standard reference pressure of 29.92 inches of mercury.
Factors Affecting Altitude
Several factors can affect altitude, including atmospheric pressure, temperature, and geographic location. As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases, which can have implications for human health and the performance of aircraft and other machinery.
Study Guide
To study altitude, consider the following key points:
- Understand the different types of altitude and how they are measured.
- Learn about the effects of altitude on the human body and how to acclimatize to high altitudes.
- Explore the impact of altitude on weather patterns and climate.
- Examine how altitude influences the flight of aircraft and the operation of other equipment.
Useful resources for further study include textbooks on physical geography, meteorology, aviation, and outdoor recreation.

Concepts of Life Science (SC1, SC2, SC3)
The student demonstrates an understanding that all organisms are linked to each other and their physical environments through the transfer and transformation of matter and energy by identifying examples of living and non-living things and the relationship between them (e.g., living things need water, herbivores need plants).
The student demonstrates an understanding that all organisms are linked to each other and their physical environments through the transfer and transformation of matter and energy by identifying a simple food chain of familiar plans and animals, diagramming how energy flows through it, and describing the effects of removing one link.
Concepts of Life Science: A student should understand and be able to apply the concepts, models, theories, facts, evidence, systems, and processes of life science. A student who meets the content standard should:
Develop an understanding that all organisms are linked to each other and their physical environments through the transfer and transformation of matter and energy.
