nadmorská

nadmorská is a Slovak adjective meaning "sea-level" or "altitude." It is derived from the words "nad" (above) and "morská" (sea). This term is commonly used in geographical contexts to describe the elevation of a place above sea level. For example, "nadmorská výška" translates to "altitude" or "height above sea level." This measurement is crucial for understanding climate, topography, and various ecological factors.

In Slovakia, information about the nadmorská výška of towns, mountains, and other geographical features is readily available. This data helps in planning infrastructure, agricultural practices, and tourism. For instance, knowing the altitude of a ski resort is essential for determining its snow reliability. Similarly, the nadmorská výška of a city can influence its temperature and precipitation patterns.

The concept of nadmorská výška is a standard metric used worldwide for geographical reference. In Slovakia, it plays a significant role in scientific research, cartography, and everyday descriptions of the landscape.
