What does this number measure?
The measurement concerns the landform rising above the surrounding terrain. Displayed dimension: height above the plain.
Compare the stated dimensions
The comparison uses the number in each fact sheet: altitude, height, diameter, length or distance, depending on the reference. Two values in metres do not necessarily describe the same property.
Source and limitations
Catalogue value to check against the source; not individually audited.
Uluru: interpreted red-sandstone relief, a rounded massif with grooved flanks. The reference compares its height above the plain; the perspective and geological detail do not come from a topographic survey.
