relating to or involving elevation, height, or the process of raising something up.
From elevation (Latin elevatus, 'lifted up') plus the suffix -al, meaning 'of or relating to.' The word evolved to describe anything connected to height or vertical position.
Elevational is used in geography and climate science to describe how ecosystems change as you go higher up mountains—the plants and animals at 5,000 feet are completely different from those at 10,000 feet because of elevation differences.
