Nevado Juncal is a mountain at the border of Argentina and Chile , at the head of Aconcagua Val . It has a height of 5,953 metres (19,531 ft). It is located at La Yesera , Los Andes Department , Valparaíso Region , at the Central Andes . The mountain hosts several glaciers including the Juncal Norte and Juncal Sur.
6-460: It has an official height of 5965 meters Based on the elevation provided by the available Digital elevation models , SRTM2 (5940m), ASTER (5918m), TanDEM-X (5905m with voids), Juncal is about 5953 meters above sea level. The height of the nearest key col is 5120 meters , so its prominence is 833 meters . Juncal is listed as subgroup or massif, based on the Dominance system and its dominance
12-521: A mountain , mountain range , or peak in Chile is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . Elevation The elevation of a geographic location is its height above or below a fixed reference point, most commonly a reference geoid , a mathematical model of the Earth 's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface (see Geodetic datum § Vertical datum ). The term elevation

24-486: Is mainly used when referring to points on the Earth's surface, while altitude or geopotential height is used for points above the surface, such as an aircraft in flight or a spacecraft in orbit, and depth is used for points below the surface. Elevation is not to be confused with the distance from the center of the Earth. Due to the equatorial bulge , the summits of Mount Everest and Chimborazo have, respectively,
30-579: The landscape at different scales. Tools inside the GIS allow for manipulation of data for spatial analysis or cartography. A topographical map is the main type of map used to depict elevation, often through contour lines . In a Geographic Information System (GIS), digital elevation models (DEM) are commonly used to represent the surface (topography) of a place, through a raster (grid) dataset of elevations. Digital terrain models are another way to represent terrain in GIS. USGS (United States Geologic Survey)
36-617: The largest elevation and the largest geocentric distance. In aviation, the term elevation or aerodrome elevation is defined by the ICAO as the highest point of the landing area. It is often measured in feet and can be found in approach charts of the aerodrome. It is not to be confused with terms such as the altitude or height. GIS or geographic information system is a computer system that allows for visualizing, manipulating, capturing, and storage of data with associated attributes. GIS offers better understanding of patterns and relationships of
