WHat is the elevation of Ocala Florida? How many feet above sea level?

Question

I hear that global warming will make the sea levels rise. How many feet above sea level is Ocala Florida? or Gainesville FL

Answer 1

Ocala Elevation: 11 meters (37 feet)

Gainesville Elevation: 151 ft / 46 m


It is likely that much of the rise in sea level has been related to the concurrent rise in global temperature over the last 100 years. On this time scale, the warming and the consequent thermal expansion of the oceans may account for about 2-7 cm of the observed sea level rise, while the observed retreat of glaciers and ice caps may account for about 2-5 cm. Other factors are more difficult to quantify. The rate of observed sea level rise suggests that there has been a net positive contribution from the huge ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica, but observations of the ice sheets do not yet allow meaningful quantitative estimates of their separate contributions. The ice sheets remain a major source of uncertainty in accounting for past changes in sea level because of insufficient data about these ice sheets over the last 100 years.

Answer 2

The encyclopedia says Ocala (104 ft) and Google Maps says Gainsville (69 ft), but there are some areas in both that are lower.

Answer 3

Ocala is 104 ft above sea level according to wikipedia

Answer 4

If the land runs for a few hundred yards away from the sea at a really low level, doesn't it seem reasonable that the same land would run for a few hundred yards just below the sea?

Answer 5

41 ft above sea level
