Sigma KEE - elevation

elevation

appearance as argument number 1

(documentation elevation EnglishLanguage "(elevation ?OBJECT ?HEIGHT) means that the physical Object ?OBJECT is located on the surface of PlanetEarth at the vertical distance ?HEIGHT above (or below, for a negative quantity) SeaLevel. ?OBJECT may be a superficialPart of Earth's surface, such as a GeographicArea. Elevation is measured from SeaLevel to the vertical top of the object.")	Geography.kif 1847-1852
(domain elevation 1 Object)	Geography.kif 1844-1844	The number 1 argument of elevation is an instance of object
(domain elevation 2 LengthMeasure)	Geography.kif 1845-1845	The number 2 argument of elevation is an instance of length measure
(instance elevation BinaryPredicate)	Geography.kif 1843-1843	elevation is an instance of binary predicate
