OF COURSE IT'S A FUCKING FACTOR

ALTITUDE IS NEVER A FACTOR IN A FUCKING FOOTBALL GAME BECAUSE FOOTBALL IS PLAYED ON A FUCKING FIELD ON THE GROUND AND NOT UP IN THE FUCKING AIR SOMEWHERE

Main Difference – Altitude vs. Elevation

The terms altitude and elevation both refer to a height. The two terms have somewhat similar meanings, although there is a difference in where and how the two terms are used. The main difference between altitude and elevation is that the word altitude is used to describe the vertical distance between an object and a reference point whereas elevation is used to describe the height of a place above the sea level.

What is Altitude

Altitude is the height of an object above a reference point or level. The reference level could be defined to be anything, although mean sea level (MSL) or above ground level (AGL) are commonly used. For example, we use the term “altitude” to refer to how high an airplane is flying. This altitude is measured using a device called an altimeter. An altimeter actually a barometer, measuring pressure. However, the higher up above the sea level you are, the less is the pressure you are going to experience (This is because at higher places, the weight of the air pushing down on you is less). Therefore, a barometer can be calibrated to give the height of a point above sea level.

What is Elevation

The term “elevation” is used to refer to the height of a place above the mean sea level. The image below shows a diagram showing how much of the Earth is at various altitudes:
Difference Between Altitude and Elevation - Elevations_histogram


As mentioned before, at higher elevations, the air is “thinner”. i.e. it is less dense because there is less air pushing down on it. This means that the air pressure as well as the amount of oxygen is less at higher elevations and has important implications for humans. For instance, some people suffer high-altitude sickness (note that although the word altitude is used rather than elevation, in this case, the term generally refers to the height of a place above sea level) where they experience dizziness and shortness of breath.


Altitude refers to the height of an object above a given point.

Elevation refers to the height of a place above the mean sea level.

Irregardless, that's a mute point. Your just basically talking about French benefits now.

Pete full of shit and he knows it. Said that with his team's goal in mind. Altitude a huge factor. Huge. Hope team leaves thursday to acclimate.

Bear cut the semantics debate. You wasted a lot of time trying to be cute. We all know what a complete waste of time this was, and you came off looking like a bigger bonio than we already see you ass.

Thank you for your service

Acclimatization is the process of the body adjusting to the decreased availability of oxygen at high altitudes. It is a slow process, taking place over a period of days to weeks.

oh, oh. Peterman fucked up again

I don't know how he did things in the WAC, but here in big boy conferences we acclimate.

hmmm, altitude.... I can't wait to see how much further out of bounds our kicks go and how far wide the field goals are on Saturday.

Irregardless, the point of language is to communicate information. If you ask most any person what the altitude of the mile high city is, they will have a general idea, because the question has a context, and the reference point of sea level is assumed in that context.

Language nazis are a dying breed, which is a good thing, in a language that is evolving all the time. If it wasn't, we'd still all be speaking old english.
