Wikipedia

  1. high-altitude

    Altitude or height (also sometimes known as depth) is a distance measurement, usually in the vertical or "up" direction, between a reference datum and a point or object. The exact definition and reference datum varies according to the context (e.g., aviation, geometry, geographical survey, sport, or atmospheric pressure). Although the term altitude is commonly used to mean the height above sea level of a location, in geography the term elevation is often preferred for this usage. Vertical distance measurements in the "down" direction are commonly referred to as depth.

  1. high-altitude

    High-altitude generally refers to locations or positions significantly above sea level, often thousands of feet up. It is mostly associated with mountainous areas, aviation, or atmospheric studies. In human physiology, places above roughly 1,200 meters (3,900 ft) may be considered high altitude, as the reduced atmospheric pressure can lead to altitude sickness. However, the exact height considered as 'high altitude' can vary depending on context.
